I finally got around to retest it.

		total	fragmenting	movable	fragmenting&&movable
base-1:		957	583		353	0
base-2:		2715	2343		359	0
base-3:		2033	1669		353	0
patched-1:	1325	929		371	0
patched-2:	2844	2451		371	0
patched-3:	1304	917		361	0

fragmenting=1 is defined as fallback_order<pageblock_order which is most
of them.

Patched kernel showed slightly elevated movable(fallback_migratetype=1)
cases. Is it critical?

There's no allocations that is fragmenting and movable. Hm.
