Since commit 031bc574 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is by default not adding any page debugging. This resulted in several unnoticed bugs, e.g. https://lkml.kernel.org/g/<569F5E29.3090107@de.ibm.com> or https://lkml.kernel.org/g/<56A20F30.4050705@de.ibm.com> as this behaviour change was not even documented in Kconfig. Let's provide a new Kconfig symbol that allows to change the default back to enabled, e.g. for debug kernels. This also makes the change obvious to kernel packagers. Let's also change the Kconfig description for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, to indicate that there are two stages of overhead.
