mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation
commit 0ba8f2d59304dfe69b59c034de723ad80f7ab9ac upstream. The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit 43506fad21ca ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index of adjacent buddy lists"). But the page address of higher page's buddy was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever. IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address of higher page's buddy. Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of higher page's buddy.
