mainlining shenanigans

Collect the time for each allocation recorded in page owner so that allocation "surges" can be measured. Record the pid for each allocation recorded in page owner so that the source of allocation "surges" can be better identified. The above is very useful when doing memory analysis. On a crash for example, we can get this information from kdump (or ramdump) and parse it to figure out memory allocation problems. Please note that on x86_64 this increases the size of struct page_owner from 16 bytes to 32. Vlastimil: it's not a functionality intended for production, so unless somebody says they need to enable page_owner for debugging and this increase prevents them from fitting into available memory, let's not complicate things with making this optional.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
