Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] mm: Split page_type out from _map_count

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>

We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the
_map_count and make page_type its own field.  That implies renaming some
of the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg;
bring back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names.

As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask.  Because it starts out
life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _map_count), setting a
page flag means clearing the appropriate bit.  This gives us space for
probably twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be
about _mapcount underflow).
