mm/page_alloc: simplify locking during free_unref_page_list
While freeing a large list, the zone lock will be released and reacquired
to avoid long hold times since commit c24ad77d962c ("mm/page_alloc.c:
avoid excessive IRQ disabled times in free_unref_page_list()"). As
suggested by Vlastimil Babka, the lockrelease/reacquire logic can be
simplified by reusing the logic that acquires a different lock when
changing zones.
