It is also this one，

commit 787af64d05cd528aac9ad16752d11bb1c6061bb9
Author: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>

     mm: page_alloc: validate buddy before check its migratetype.

     Whenever a buddy page is found, page_is_buddy() should be called to
     check its validity.  Add the missing check during pageblock merge 
check.

     Fixes: 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging 
non-fallbackable pageblocks with others")
