Subject: [PATCH 5.10 102/120] mm, compaction: move high_pfn to the for loop scope

From: Rokudo Yan <wu-yan@....com>

commit 74e21484e40bb8ce0f9828bbfe1c9fc9b04249c6 upstream.

In fast_isolate_freepages, high_pfn will be used if a prefered one (ie
PFN >= low_fn) not found.

But the high_pfn is not reset before searching an free area, so when it
was used as freepage, it may from another free area searched before.  As
a result move_freelist_head(freelist, freepage) will have unexpected
behavior (eg corrupt the MOVABLE freelist)

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead000000000200
  Mem abort info:
    ESR = 0x96000044
    Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
    SET = 0, FnV = 0
    EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
  Data abort info:
    ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000044
    CM = 0, WnR = 1

The issue was reported on an smart phone product with 6GB ram and 3GB
zram as swap device.

This patch fixes the issue by reset high_pfn before searching each free
area, which ensure freepage and freelist match when call
move_freelist_head in fast_isolate_freepages().
