Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tracing, page-allocator: Add trace events for page allocation and page freeing

This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages.
Using the events, it will be known what struct page and pfns are being
allocated and freed and what the call site was in many cases.
