Subject: [PATCH 5.14 408/432] mm/page_alloc.c: avoid accessing uninitialized pcp page migratetype

From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@...wei.com>

commit 053cfda102306a3394012f9fe2594811c34925e4 upstream.

If it's not prepared to free unref page, the pcp page migratetype is
unset.  Thus we will get rubbish from get_pcppage_migratetype() and
might list_del(&page->lru) again after it's already deleted from the list
leading to grumble about data corruption.
