mm, page_owner: record page owner for each subpage 

Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements through page_owner", v2.

The debug_pagealloc functionality serves a similar purpose on the page
allocator level that slub_debug does on the kmalloc level, which is to
detect bad users.  One notable feature that slub_debug has is storing
stack traces of who last allocated and freed the object.  On page level we
track allocations via page_owner, but that info is discarded when freeing,
and we don't track freeing at all.  This series improves those aspects.
With both debug_pagealloc and page_owner enabled, we can then get bug
reports such as the example in Patch 4.

SLUB debug tracking additionally stores cpu, pid and timestamp.  This could
be added later, if deemed useful enough to justify the additional page_ext
structure size.

This patch (of 3):

Currently, page owner info is only recorded for the first page of a
high-order allocation, and copied to tail pages in the event of a split
page.  With the plan to keep previous owner info after freeing the page,
it would be benefical to record page owner for each subpage upon
allocation.  This increases the overhead for high orders, but that should
be acceptable for a debugging option.

The order stored for each subpage is the order of the whole allocation.
This makes it possible to calculate the "head" pfn and to recognize "tail"
pages (quoted because not all high-order allocations are compound pages
with true head and tail pages).  When reading the page_owner debugfs file,
keep skipping the "tail" pages so that stats gathered by existing scripts
don't get inflated.
