I recently added a patch to let folks pass a "reason" string dump_page()
which gets dumped out along with the page's data.  This essentially
saves the bug-reader a trip in to the source to figure out why we
BUG_ON()'d.

The new VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() passes in NULL for "reason".  It seems like we
might as well pass the BUG_ON() condition if we have it.  This will
bloat kernels a bit with ~160 new strings, but this is all under a
debugging option anyway.
