mm/page_owner: fix possible access violation
When I tested my new patches, I found that page pointer which is used
for setting page_owner information is changed. This is because page
pointer is used to set new migratetype in loop. After this work, page
pointer could be out of bound. If this wrong pointer is used for
page_owner, access violation happens. Below is error message that I
got.

This patch fixes this error by moving up set_page_owner().
