Subject: [PATCH 2/5] mm, page_owner: convert page_owner_inited to static key

CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER attempts to impose negligible runtime overhead when enabled
during compilation, but not actually enabled during runtime by boot param
page_owner=on. This overhead can be further reduced using the static key
mechanism, which this patch does.
