[PATCH v5 3/3] mm/page_owner: document page_owner filter features

[Zhen Ni <zhen.ni@easystack.cn>]

Add documentation for the page_owner filter functionality, including:
- Print mode filter (full stack vs stack handle)
- NUMA node filter (single node, multiple nodes, ranges)
- Usage examples for both filters

Signed-off-by: Zhen Ni <zhen.ni@easystack.cn>

Changes in v5:
- No code changes

Changes in v4:
- Update print_mode documentation to reflect string-based interface
  * Change from "0/1" to "full_stack"/"stack_handle"
  * Add bracket notation example: "[full_stack] stack_handle"
- Update NUMA filter documentation
  * Remove "-1" example
  * Add empty string as clear method
- Fix indentation: use tabs instead of spaces in code examples

Changes in v3:
- New patch to document filter features as requested by Andrew Morton

+Page Owner Filters
+==================
+
+The page_owner feature provides filtering capabilities to focus on specific
+memory allocations (e.g., by NUMA node). Filters are controlled through debugfs
+files in ``/sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_filter/``.
+
+Print Mode Filter
+-----------------
+
+The ``print_mode`` file controls the level of detail in stack trace output.
+
+Available modes:
+
+- ``full_stack`` (default): Print full stack traces
+- ``stack_handle``: Print only stack handles
+
+Reading the file shows the current mode with brackets around the active option::
+
+	cat /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_filter/print_mode
+	[full_stack] stack_handle
+
+The ``stack_handle`` mode significantly reduces output size. Instead of full
+stack traces, it prints only the handle number::
+
+	Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x42800(GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_COMP),
+	pid 1, tgid 1 (systemd), ts 349667370 ns
+	PFN 0xa00a2 type Unmovable Block 1280 type Unmovable
+	Flags 0x33fffe0000004124(...)
+	handle: 17432583
+
+To retrieve the full stack trace for a handle, use::
+
+	cat /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_stacks/show_stacks_handles
+
+NUMA Node Filter
+----------------
+
+The ``nid`` file filters pages by NUMA node. This is useful for NUMA-aware
+environments to analyze node-specific memory allocation.
+
+Supported input formats:
+
+- Single node: ``echo "2" > nid``
+- Multiple nodes: ``echo "0,2,3" > nid``
+- Node range: ``echo "0-3" > nid``
+- Mixed format: ``echo "0,2-4,7" > nid``
+- Clear filter: ``echo > nid`` (empty string)
+
