Suren Baghdasaryan 4835f747d3 alloc_tag: support for page allocation tag compression
Implement support for storing page allocation tag references directly in
the page flags instead of page extensions.  sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot
parameter it extended to provide a way for a user to request this mode. 
Enabling compression eliminates memory overhead caused by page_ext and
results in better performance for page allocations.  However this mode
will not work if the number of available page flag bits is insufficient to
address all kernel allocations.  Such condition can happen during boot or
when loading a module.  If this condition is detected, memory allocation
profiling gets disabled with an appropriate warning.  By default
compression mode is disabled.
