Unless I'm missing something the crash happens in __rmqueue_fallback():

do_steal:
	page = get_page_from_free_area(area, fallback_mt);

	steal_suitable_fallback(zone, page, alloc_flags, start_migratetype,
								can_steal);
		-> move_freepages() 
			-> BUG()

So a page from free area should be sane as the freed range was never added
it to the free lists.

And honestly, with the memory layout reported elsewhere in the stack I'd
say that the bootloader/fdt beg for fixes...
