Subject: [PATCH v9 5/7] mm,page_owner: Display all stacks and their count

This patch adds a new directory called 'page_owner_stacks' under
/sys/kernel/debug/, with a file called 'show_stacks' in it.
Reading from that file will show all stacks that were added by page_owner
followed by their counting, giving us a clear overview of stack <-> count
relationship.

E.g:

  prep_new_page+0xa9/0x120
  get_page_from_freelist+0x801/0x2210
  __alloc_pages+0x18b/0x350
  alloc_pages_mpol+0x91/0x1f0
  folio_alloc+0x14/0x50
  filemap_alloc_folio+0xb2/0x100
  __filemap_get_folio+0x14a/0x490
  ext4_write_begin+0xbd/0x4b0 [ext4]
  generic_perform_write+0xc1/0x1e0
  ext4_buffered_write_iter+0x68/0xe0 [ext4]
  ext4_file_write_iter+0x70/0x740 [ext4]
  vfs_write+0x33d/0x420
  ksys_write+0xa5/0xe0
  do_syscall_64+0x80/0x160
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76
 stack_count: 4578

The seq stack_{start,next} functions will iterate through the list
stack_list in order to print all stacks.
