[PATCH mm-unstable v9 02/31] pgtable: create struct ptdesc

Currently, page table information is stored within struct page. As part
of simplifying struct page, create struct ptdesc for page table
information.

+ * @__page_type: Same as page->page_type. Unused for page tables.

+ *
+ * This struct overlays struct page for now. Do not modify without a good
