The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator users
that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page inconsistency is
detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call stack of process that
last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner is also enabled, we record
the allocation stack trace, but not freeing.
This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page
owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and enabled.
With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the memory leak
debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the info. An example
result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like this (note the page last free
stack trace):
