mm, page_owner: copy page owner info during migration
The page_owner mechanism stores gfp_flags of an allocation and stack
trace that lead to it. During page migration, the original information
is practically replaced by the allocation of free page as the migration
target. Arguably this is less useful and might lead to all the
page_owner info for migratable pages gradually converge towards
compaction or numa balancing migrations. It has also lead to
inaccuracies such as one fixed by commit
e2cfc91120fa ("mm/page_owner:
set correct gfp_mask on page_owner").
This patch thus introduces copying the page_owner info during migration.
However, since the fact that the page has been migrated from its
original place might be useful for debugging, the next patch will
introduce a way to track that information as well.
