mm: dump_page(): additional diagnostics for huge pinned pages
As part of pin_user_pages() and related API calls, pages are "dma-pinned".
For the case of compound pages of order > 1, the per-page accounting of
dma pins is accomplished via the 3rd struct page in the compound page. In
order to support debugging of any pin_user_pages()- related problems,
enhance dump_page() so as to report the pin count in that case.
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is also updated accordingly.
