In order to remove the need to manually keep three different files in
synch, provide a common definition of the mapping between enum
migrate_reason, and the associated strings for each enum item.

1. Use the tracing system's mapping of enums to strings, by redefining
and reusing the MIGRATE_REASON and supporting macros, and using that to
populate the string array in mm/debug.c.

2. Move enum migrate_reason to migrate_mode.h. This is not strictly
necessary for this patch, but migrate mode and migrate reason go
together, so this will slightly clarify things.

LGTM.
And, maybe rename the migrate_mode.h?


I thought about this, and after failing to dream up a better
filename, just figured I'd leave it alone. But I'm open to suggestion
there. And it is easy to change, since it's only included from two
places.
