From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

commit 0dcc48c15f63ee86c2fcd33968b08d651f0360a5 upstream.

next_active_pageblock() is for finding next _used_ freeblock. It skips
several blocks when it finds there are a chunk of free pages lager than
pageblock. But it has 2 bugs.

1. We have no lock. page_order(page) - pageblock_order can be minus.
2. pageblocks_stride += is wrong. it should skip page_order(p) of pages.
