Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] x86: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting

We can use debug_pagealloc_enabled() to check if we can map
the identity mapping with 2MB pages. We can also add the state
into the dump_stack output.

The patch does not touch the code for the 1GB pages, which ignored
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. Do we need to fence this as well?
