Subject: [PATCH] mm: move PG_slab flag to page_type

For now, only SLAB uses _mapcount field as a number of active objects in
a slab, and other slab allocators do not use it. As 16 bits are enough
for that, use remaining 16 bits of _mapcount as page_type even when
SLAB is used. And then move PG_slab flag to page_type!

Note that page_type is always placed in upper 16 bits of _mapcount to
avoid confusing normal _mapcount as page_type. As underflow (actually
I mean, yeah, overflow) is not a concern anymore, use more lower bits
except bit zero.

Add more folio helpers for PAGE_TYPE_OPS() not to break existing
slab implementations.

Remove PG_slab check from PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE. buddy will still
check if _mapcount is properly set at free.

Exclude PG_slab from hwpoison and show_page_flags() for now.

Note that with this patch, page_mapped() and folio_mapped() always return
false for slab page.

I think this gives us two benefits:
- it frees a bit in flags field
- it makes it simpler to distinguish user-mapped pages and
  not-user-mapped pages.

Plus I'm writing a bit more of code including:
	0) a few cleanup for code that checks
	   !PageSlab() && page_mapped() or that does similar thing
	1) provide human-readale string of page_type in dump_page
	2) add show_page_types() for tracepoint
	3) fix hwpoison ...etc.

Anyway This is an early RFC, I will very appreciate feedbacks!
