mm/page_ext: do not allocate space for page_ext->flags if not needed

There is 8 byte page_ext->flags field allocated per page whenever
CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION is enabled.  However, not every user of page_ext
uses flags.  Therefore, check whether flags is needed at least by one user
and if so allocate space for it.

For example when page_table_check is enabled, on a machine with 128G
of memory before the fix:

[    2.244288] allocated 536870912 bytes of page_ext
after the fix:
[    2.160154] allocated 268435456 bytes of page_ext

Also, add a kernel-doc comment before page_ext_operations that describes
the fields, and remove check if need() is set, as that is now a required
field.
