The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype of
the pageblock the page belongs to. This is also checked against the page's
migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and the page is
reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the pageblock's one.

This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback allocation is not the only
reason why these two can differ. It also doesn't direcly provide the page's
migratetype, although it's possible to derive that from the gfp_flags.

It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and leave
the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback allocation as the
only possible reason. While at it, we can print the migratetypes as string
the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some of the numeric values depend
on kernel configuration. For that, this patch moves the migratetype_names
array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and
exports it.

Example page_owner entry after the patch:

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x2420848
