Objections?

The bootmem code added to page_alloc.c duplicated some page freeing code
that it really doesn't need to because it is not so performance critical.
... but actually it is possible that it ends up being faster with this
patch anyway, due to the old code freeing the pages as higher order
batches: they won't have to go through as many iterations in the buddy
allocator. This patch restores that behaviour as well.
