mm,compaction: Move unusable_index to debugfs

unusable_index can be worked out from userspace but for debugging and tuning
compaction, it'd be best for all users to have the same information. This
patch moves extfrag_index to debugfs where it is both easier to configure
out and remove at some future date.

This is a fix to the patch "Export unusable free space index via
/proc/unusable_index"
