Thanks for the patch, Chris!

With this patch, the data in /proc/kpageflags appears to be correct and
memory tools like procrank work again on arm64 platforms.

Tested-by: Georgi Djakov <quic_c_gdjako@...cinc.com>

Maybe we should add fixes tag, as it has been broken since the following
commit:
Fixes: abec749facff ("fs/proc/page.c: allow inspection of last section 
and fix end detection")

Thanks,
Georgi
