mm/page_owner.c: remove unnecessary stack_trace field
Page owner uses the page_ext structure to keep meta-information for every page in the system. The structure also contains a field of type 'struct stack_trace', page owner uses this field during invocation of the function save_stack_trace. It is easy to notice that keeping a copy of this structure for every page in the system is very inefficiently in terms of memory. The patch removes this unnecessary field of page_ext and forces page owner to use a stack_trace structure allocated on the stack.
