Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix swapped Movable and Reclaimable in /proc/pagetypeinfo

Commit 016c13daa5c9 ("mm, page_alloc: use masks and shifts when converting GFP
flags to migrate types") has swapped MIGRATE_MOVABLE and MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE
in the enum definition. However, migratetype_names wasn't updated to reflect
that. As a result, the file /proc/pagetypeinfo shows the counts for Movable as
Reclaimable and vice versa.

Additionally, commit 0aaa29a56e4f ("mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for
high-order atomic allocations on demand") introduced MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC, but
did not add a letter to distinguish it into show_migration_types(), so it
doesn't appear in the listing of free areas during page alloc failures or oom
kills.

This patch fixes both problems. The atomic reserves will show with a letter
'H' in the free areas listings.
