Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc

kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, with one shortcoming that
its object size is fixed to be power of 2. When user requests memory
for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes will be allocated, so
in worst case, there is around 50% memory space waste.

We've met a kernel boot OOM panic (v5.10), and from the dumped slab info:

    [   26.062145] kmalloc-2k            814056KB     814056KB

>From debug we found there are huge number of 'struct iova_magazine',
whose size is 1032 bytes (1024 + 8), so each allocation will waste
1016 bytes. Though the issue was solved by giving the right (bigger)
size of RAM, it is still nice to optimize the size (either use a
kmalloc friendly size or create a dedicated slab for it).

And from lkml archive, there was another crash kernel OOM case [1]
back in 2019, which seems to be related with the similar slab waste
situation, as the log is similar:

    [    4.332648] iommu: Adding device 0000:20:02.0 to group 16
    [    4.338946] swapper/0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0
    ...
    [    4.857565] kmalloc-2048           59164KB      59164KB

The crash kernel only has 256M memory, and 59M is pretty big here.
(Note: the related code has been changed and optimised in recent
kernel [2], these logs are picked just to demo the problem)

So add an way to track each kmalloc's memory waste info, and leverage
the existing SLUB debug framework to show its call stack info, so
that user can evaluate the waste situation, identify some hot spots
and optimize accordingly, for a better utilization of memory.

The waste info is integrated into existing interface:
/sys/kernel/debug/slab/kmalloc-xx/alloc_traces, one example of
'kmalloc-4k' after boot is:

126 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xa5/0x4a0 [ixgbe] waste=233856/1856 age=1493302/1493830/1494358 pid=1284 cpus=32 nodes=1
        __slab_alloc.isra.86+0x52/0x80
        __kmalloc_node+0x143/0x350
        ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xa5/0x4a0 [ixgbe]
        ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x1a6/0x730 [ixgbe]
        ixgbe_probe+0xc8e/0x10d0 [ixgbe]
        local_pci_probe+0x42/0x80
        work_for_cpu_fn+0x13/0x20
        process_one_work+0x1c5/0x390

which means in 'kmalloc-4k' slab, there are 126 requests of
2240 bytes which got a 4KB space (wasting 1856 bytes each
and 233856 bytes in total). And when system starts some real
workload like multiple docker instances, there are more
severe waste.

[Thanks Hyeonggon for pointing out several bugs about sorting/format]
[Thanks Vlastimil for suggesting way to reduce memory usage of
 orig_size and keep it only for kmalloc objects]

  since v1:
    * limit the 'orig_size' to kmalloc objects only, and save
      it after track in metadata (Vlastimil Babka)
    * fix a offset calculation problem in print_trailer

  since RFC:
    * fix problems in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and records sorting,
      improve the print format (Hyeonggon Yoo)
    * fix a compiling issue found by 0Day bot
    * update the commit log based info from iova developers
