To remove goto label, we need two __mod_zone_freepage_state() like
as below. On my system, it doesn't generate worse code, but, I am not
sure that this is true if more logic would be added. I think that
goto + label is better.

+ if (unlikely(has_isolate_pageblock(zone))) {
+ migratetype = get_pfnblock_migratetype(page, pfn);
+ if (!is_migrate_isolate(migratetype))
+ __mod_zone_freepage_state(zone, 1 << order, migratetype);
+ } else {
+ __mod_zone_freepage_state(zone, 1 << order, migratetype);
}

Anyway, What do you think which one is better, either v2 or v3? Still, v3? :)

Thanks.
