mm, page_owner: track and print last migrate reason
During migration, page_owner info is now copied with the rest of the
page, so the stacktrace leading to free page allocation during migration
is overwritten. For debugging purposes, it might be however useful to
know that the page has been migrated since its initial allocation. This
might happen many times during the lifetime for different reasons and
fully tracking this, especially with stacktraces would incur extra
memory costs. As a compromise, store and print the migrate_reason of
the last migration that occurred to the page. This is enough to
distinguish compaction, numa balancing etc.
Example page_owner entry after the patch:
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE)
PFN 628753 type Movable Block 1228 type Movable Flags 0x1fffff80040030(dirty|lru|swapbacked)
