Prior to 217b2119b9e2 ("mm,page_owner: implement the tracking of the stacks count")
the only place where page_owner could potentially go into recursion due to
its need of allocating more memory was in save_stack(), which ends up calling
into stackdepot code with the possibility of allocating memory.
We made sure to guard against that by signaling that the current task was
already in page_owner code, so in case a recursion attempt was made, we
could catch that and return dummy_handle.
After above commit, a new place in page_owner code was introduced where we
could allocate memory, meaning we could go into recursion would we take that
path.
Make sure to signal that we are in page_owner in that codepath as well.
Move the guard code into two helpers {un}set_current_in_page_owner()
and use them prior to calling in the two functions that might allocate
memory.
