mm/page_alloc: reduce potential fragmentation in make_alloc_exact()

Browse Source 
Try to avoid using the left over split page on the next request for a page
by calling __free_pages_ok() with FPI_TO_TAIL.  This increases the
potential of defragmenting memory when it's used for a short period of
time.
