mm: mark pages in use for page tables
Define a new PageTable bit in the page_type and use it to mark pages in
use as page tables. This can be helpful when debugging crashdumps or
analysing memory fragmentation. Add a KPF flag to report these pages to
userspace and update page-types.c to interpret that flag.
Note that only pages currently accounted as NR_PAGETABLES are tracked as
PageTable; this does not include pgd/p4d/pud/pmd pages. Those will be the
subject of a later patch.
