Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] /proc/kpageflags: return KPF_BUDDY for "tail" buddy pages

Currently /proc/kpageflags returns nothing for "tail" buddy pages, which
is inconvenient when grasping how free pages are distributed. This patch
sets KPF_BUDDY for such pages.

With this patch:

  $ grep MemFree /proc/meminfo ; tools/vm/page-types -b buddy
  MemFree:         3134992 kB
               flags      page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags
  0x0000000000000400          779272     3044  __________B_______________________________ buddy
  0x0000000000000c00            4385       17  __________BM______________________________ buddy,mmap
               total          783657     3061

783657 pages is 3134628 kB (roughly consistent with the global counter,)
so it's OK.
