mm: page_alloc: fix missed updates of PGFREE in free_unref_{page/folios}

PGFREE is currently updated in two code paths:

- __free_pages_ok(): for pages freed to the buddy allocator.
- free_unref_page_commit(): for pages freed to the pcplists.

Before commit df1acc85 ("mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled
with zone->lock"), free_unref_page_commit() used to fallback to freeing
isolated pages directly to the buddy allocator through free_one_page(). 
This was done _after_ updating PGFREE, so the counter was correctly
updated.

However, that commit moved the fallback logic to its callers (now called
free_unref_page() and free_unref_folios()), so PGFREE was no longer
updated in this fallback case.

Now that the code has developed, there are more cases in free_unref_page()
and free_unref_folios() where we fallback to calling free_one_page() (e.g.
!pcp_allowed_order(), pcp_spin_trylock() fails).  These cases also miss
updating PGFREE.

To make sure PGFREE is updated in all cases where pages are freed to the
buddy allocator, move the update down the stack to free_one_page().

This was noticed through code inspection, although it should be noticeable
at runtime (at least with some workloads).
