mm: mark pages in use for page tables
Define a new PageTable bit in the page_type and use it to mark pages in use as page tables. This can be helpful when debugging crashdumps or analysing memory fragmentation. Add a KPF flag to report these pages to userspace and update page-types.c to interpret that flag. Note that only pages currently accounted as NR_PAGETABLES are tracked as PageTable; this does not include pgd/p4d/pud/pmd pages. Those will be the subject of a later patch.
