[PATCH v2 7/9] mm, page_owner: dump page owner info from dump_page()

The page_owner mechanism is useful for dealing with memory leaks. By reading
/sys/kernel/debug/page_owner one can determine the stack traces leading to
allocations of all pages, and find e.g. a buggy driver.

This information might be also potentially useful for debugging, such as the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls to dump_page(). So let's print the stored info from
dump_page().

Example output:

page:ffffea0002868a00 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:ffff8800bba8e958 index:0x63a22c
flags: 0x1fffff80000060(lru|active)
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(1)
page->mem_cgroup:ffff880138efdc00
page allocated via order 0, migratetype Movable, gfp_mask 0x2420848(GFP_NOFS|GFP_NOFAIL|GFP_HARDWALL|GFP_MOVABLE)

[<ffffffffa027c793>] jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0x8e3/0x1870 [jbd2]
page has been migrated, last migrate reason: compaction
