fixes a bug in 1dd214b8f21c and there is a similar bug in d9dddbf55667 that
can be fixed in a similar way too.

In addition, for RISC-V arch the first 2MB RAM could be reserved for opensbi,
so it would have pfn_base=512 and mem_map began with 512th PFN when
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y.
But __find_buddy_pfn algorithm thinks the start pfn 0, it could get 0 pfn or
less than the pfn_base value. We need page_is_buddy() to verify the buddy to
prevent accessing an invalid buddy.

    mm: page_alloc: validate buddy before check its migratetype.

    Whenever a buddy page is found, page_is_buddy() should be called to
    check its validity.  Add the missing check during pageblock merge check.

    Fixes: 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging non-fallbackable pageblocks with others")
