Subject: [PATCH 0/5] page_owner improvements for debugging

Hi,

I know it's merge window, but this might potentially help us with some
outstanding bugs if page_owner was enabled e.g. for trinity runs, so here
you go.

Patch 1 is a bug fix, patch 2 reduces page_owner overhead when compiled in
but not enabled on boot. Patch 3 is something I suggested before [1] and it
was deemed a good idea, that the page_owner info should follow the page during
migration. Patch 4 allows us again to know that a migration happened and for
which reason.

Patch 5 will hopefully help us when debugging, as it makes all the info be
printed as part of e.g. VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(). Until now it was only accessible via
/sys file.

Patches are based on today's -next. Hugh's migration patches caused conflicts
for patches 3 and 4 when rebasing from 4.3.
