Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm, page_owner: provide symbolic page flags and gfp_flags

With the new format strings for flags, we can now provide symbolic page and gfp
flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file. This replaces the positional
printing of page flags as single letters, which might have looked nicer, but
was limited to a subset of flags, and required the user to remember the
letters.

Example of the adjusted format:

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|GFP_COLD|GFP_NOWARN|GFP_NORETRY)
PFN 674308 type Movable Block 1317 type Movable Flags 0x1fffff80010068(uptodate|lru|active|mappedtodisk)
 [<ffffffff81164e9a>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x15a/0xa30
 [<ffffffff811ab938>] alloc_pages_current+0x88/0x120
 [<ffffffff8115bc46>] __page_cache_alloc+0xe6/0x120
 [<ffffffff81168b9b>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0xdb/0x200
 [<ffffffff81168df5>] ondemand_readahead+0x135/0x260
 [<ffffffff81168f8c>] page_cache_async_readahead+0x6c/0x70
 [<ffffffff8115d5f8>] generic_file_read_iter+0x378/0x590
 [<ffffffff811d12a7>] __vfs_read+0xa7/0xd0
Page has been migrated, last migrate reason: compaction
