proc: export more page flags in /proc/kpageflags



Export all page flags faithfully in /proc/kpageflags.

	11. KPF_MMAP		(pseudo flag) memory mapped page
	12. KPF_ANON		(pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
	13. KPF_SWAPCACHE	page is in swap cache
	14. KPF_SWAPBACKED	page is swap/RAM backed
	15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD	(*)
	16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL	(*)
	17. KPF_HUGE		hugeTLB pages
	18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE	page is in the unevictable LRU list
	19. KPF_HWPOISON(TBD)	hardware detected corruption
	20. KPF_NOPAGE		(pseudo flag) no page frame at the address
	32-39.			more obscure flags for kernel developers

	(*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables
	    users to tell where a compound page starts/ends, and its order.

The accompanying page-types tool will handle the details like decoupling
overloaded flags and hiding obscure flags to normal users.

Thanks to KOSAKI and Andi for their valuable recommendations!
