Subject: mm/page_owner: extract skip_buddy_pages() helper to unify buddy page skipping
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:52:26 +0800

Three places in page_owner.c duplicate the same pattern: check if a page
is PageBuddy, read its order via buddy_order_unsafe(), advance the pfn
past the buddy block if the order is valid, and continue.

Consolidate them into a single inline helper skip_buddy_pages().  The
function returns true (skip) for any buddy page and advances @pfn past the
block when the order is valid; returns false if the page is not a buddy
page and should be processed normally.

The old init_pages_in_zone() variant used "order > 0" as an extra guard
before advancing pfn, but the continue was unconditional and (1UL << 0) -
1 == 0, so the behaviour is identical.  The comment about zone->lock is
preserved in the helper's kernel-doc.

No functional change.
