From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the
_map_count and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some
of the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg;
bring back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names.

As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out
life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _map_count), setting a
page flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for
probably twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be
about _mapcount underflow).
