mm, page_owner: dump page owner info from dump_page()
The page_owner mechanism is useful for dealing with memory leaks. By
reading /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner one can determine the stack traces
leading to allocations of all pages, and find e.g. a buggy driver.
This information might be also potentially useful for debugging, such as
the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls to dump_page(). So let's print the stored
info from dump_page().
Example output:
page:ffffea000292f1c0 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:ffff8800b2f6cc18 index:0x91d
flags: 0x1fffff8001002c(referenced|uptodate|lru|mappedtodisk)
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(1)
page->mem_cgroup:ffff8801392c5000
page allocated via order 0, migratetype Movable, gfp_mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_NORETRY)
