the PAGE_EXT_OWNER_FREE bit is not heavily used now. the
only place is this test in __dump_page_owner()
if (!test_bit(PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ALLOC, &page_ext->flags) &&
!test_bit(PAGE_EXT_OWNER_FREE, &page_ext->flags)) {
pr_alert("page_owner info is not active (free page?)\n");
return;
}
other than that it's for symmetry/future use.

you are right. that PAGE_EXT_OWNER_FREE test is wrong, indeed.
thanks for spotting.
