[PATCH 8/9] mm: add API for setting a grace period cookie on compound pages

[Michel Lespinasse <walken@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This commit adds the page_get_gp_cookie() / page_gp_cookie_elapsed()
API to be used on compound pages. page_get_gp_cookie() sets a cookie
on a page and page_gp_cookie_elapsed() returns true if an rcu grace
period has elapsed since the cookie was set.

page_clear_gp_cookie() is called before freeing compound pages so that
their state is always returned to a given standard (as enforced by
free_pages_check() in mm/page_alloc.c)
