Subject: [PATCH 3/6] mm/page_owner: copy last_migrate_reason in copy_page_owner()

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>

Currently, copy_page_owner() doesn't copy all the owner information.
It skips last_migrate_reason because copy_page_owner() is used for
migration and it will be properly set soon. But, following patch
will use copy_page_owner() and this skip will cause the problem that
allocated page has uninitialied last_migrate_reason. To prevent it,
this patch also copy last_migrate_reason in copy_page_owner().
