mm: page_owner: detect page_owner recursion via task_struct

Before the change page_owner recursion was detected via fetching
backtrace and inspecting it for current instruction pointer.
It has a few problems:

 - it is slightly slow as it requires extra backtrace and a linear stack
   scan of the result

 - it is too late to check if backtrace fetching required memory
   allocation itself (ia64's unwinder requires it).

To simplify recursion tracking let's use page_owner recursion flag in
'struct task_struct'.

The change make page_owner=on work on ia64 by avoiding infinite
recursion in:
  kmalloc()
  -> __set_page_owner()
  -> save_stack()
  -> unwind() [ia64-specific]
  -> build_script()
  -> kmalloc()
  -> __set_page_owner() [we short-circuit here]
  -> save_stack()
  -> unwind() [recursion]
