Subject: [PATCH v16 02/22] mm/page_idle: no unlikely double check for idle page counting

As func comments mentioned, few isolated page missing be tolerated.
So why not do further to drop the unlikely double check. That won't
cause more idle pages, but reduce a lock contention.

This is also a preparation for later new page isolation feature.
