Subject: mm, page_owner: print symbolic migratetype of both page and pageblock

The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
of the pageblock the page belongs to.  This is also checked against the
page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and
the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the
pageblock's one.

This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback allocation is not the
only reason why these two can differ.  It also doesn't direcly provide the
page's migratetype, although it's possible to derive that from the
gfp_flags.

It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and
leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback
allocation as the only possible reason.  While at it, we can print the
migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some of
the numeric values depend on kernel configuration.  For that, this patch
moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part of
mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it.

Example page_owner entry after the patch:
