mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging

Browse Source 
Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements".

I have been recently debugging some pcplist corruptions, where it would be
useful to perform struct page checks immediately as pages are allocated
from and freed to pcplists, which is now only possible by rebuilding the
kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (details in Patch 2 changelog).

To make this kind of debugging simpler in future on a distro kernel, I
have improved CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC so that it has even smaller overhead
when not enabled at boot time (Patch 1) and also when enabled (Patch 3),
and extended it to perform the struct page checks more often when enabled
(Patch 2).  Now it can be configured in when building a distro kernel
without extra overhead, and debugging page use after free or double free
can be enabled simply by rebooting with debug_pagealloc=on.

This patch (of 3):

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC has been redesigned by 031bc5743f
("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") to
allow being always enabled in a distro kernel, but only perform its
expensive functionality when booted with debug_pagelloc=on.  We can
further reduce the overhead when not boot-enabled (including page
allocator fast paths) using static keys.  This patch introduces one for
debug_pagealloc core functionality, and another for the optional guard
page functionality (enabled by booting with debug_guardpage_minorder=X).
