Subject: [PATCH v2 2/8] mm/page_alloc: correct to clear guard attribute in DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

In __free_one_page(), we check the buddy page if it is guard page.
And, if so, we should clear guard attribute on the buddy page. But,
currently, we clear original page's order rather than buddy one's.
This doesn't have any problem, because resetting buddy's order
is useless and the original page's order is re-assigned soon.
But, it is better to correct code.

Additionally, I change (set/clear)_page_guard_flag() to
(set/clear)_page_guard() and makes these functions do all works
needed for guard page. This may make code more understandable.

One more thing, I did in this patch, is that fixing freepage accounting.
If we clear guard page and link it onto isolate buddy list, we should
not increase freepage count.
