Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] mm, debug: fix wrongly filtered flags in dump_vma()

The dump_vma() function uses dump_flags() for printing the flags as symbolic
names. That function however does a page-flags specific filtering of bits
higher than NR_PAGEFLAGS in order to remove the zone id part. For dump_vma()
this results in removing several VM_* flags from the symbolic translation.

Fix this by refactoring dump_flags() to dump_flag_names(), which only prints
the symbolic names in parentheses. Printing the raw flag value with a prefix,
and any filtering is left to the caller. In addition to fixing the bug, this
allows better flexibility, which will be useful to print gfp_flags by a later
patch.
