Subject: [PATCH v1 2/6] mm/page_isolation: don't dump_page(NULL) in set_migratetype_isolate()

Right now, if we have two isolations racing, we might trigger the
WARN_ON_ONCE() and to dump_page(NULL), dereferencing NULL. Let's just
return directly.

In the future, we might want to report -EAGAIN to the caller instead, as
this could indicate a temporary isolation failure only.
