The large page preservation mechanism is just magic and provides no
information at all. Add optional statistic output in debugfs so the magic can
be evaluated. Defaults is off.

Output:

 1G pages checked:                    2
 1G pages sameprot:                   0
 1G pages preserved:                  0
 2M pages checked:                  540
 2M pages sameprot:                 466
 2M pages preserved:                 47
 4K pages checked:               800770
 4K pages set-checked:             7668
