Here, wouldn't a simple 'else __mod_zone_freepage_state...' look better than goto + label? (same for the following 2 patches). Or does that generate worse code?

__free_one_page(page, pfn, zone, order, migratetype);
- if (unlikely(!is_migrate_isolate(migratetype)))
- __mod_zone_freepage_state(zone, 1 << order, migratetype);
spin_unlock(&zone->lock);
}
