Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction: stop recording free page order in
 page->private

Commit 733aea0b3a7bb ("mm/compaction: add support for >0 order folio
memory compaction.") stores isolated free pages in an array indexed by
free page orders, it is no longer needed to store the order in each page's
->private field.  And there is no code using the stored order.  Stop doing
that.

It also prepares for an upcoming change that ensures subpage->private is
zero at page free time and the removal of set_page_private(0) from
prep_compound_tail().
