mm: handle profiling for fake memory allocations during compaction
During compaction isolated free pages are marked allocated so that they can be split and/or freed. For that, post_alloc_hook() is used inside split_map_pages() and release_free_list(). split_map_pages() marks free pages allocated, splits the pages and then lets alloc_contig_range_noprof() free those pages. release_free_list() marks free pages and immediately frees them. This usage of post_alloc_hook() affect memory allocation profiling because these functions might not be called from an instrumented allocator, therefore current->alloc_tag is NULL and when debugging is enabled (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=y) that causes warnings. To avoid that, wrap such post_alloc_hook() calls into an instrumented function which acts as an allocator which will be charged for these fake allocations. Note that these allocations are very short lived until they are freed, therefore the associated counters should usually read 0.
