mm: page_alloc: fix up block types when merging compatible blocks

Browse source 
The buddy allocator coalesces compatible blocks during freeing, but it
doesn't update the types of the subblocks to match.  When an allocation
later breaks the chunk down again, its pieces will be put on freelists of
the wrong type.  This encourages incompatible page mixing (ask for one
type, get another), and thus long-term fragmentation.

Update the subblocks when merging a larger chunk, such that a later
expand() will maintain freelist type hygiene.
