Print out statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance to /proc/pagetypeinfo

This patch provides fragmentation avoidance statistics via /proc/pagetypeinfo.
 The information is collected only on request so there is no runtime overhead.
 The statistics are in three parts:

The first part prints information on the size of blocks that pages are
being grouped on and looks like

Page block order: 10
Pages per block:  1024

The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like

Free pages count per migrate type at order       0      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10
Node    0, zone      DMA, type    Unmovable      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0
Node    0, zone      DMA, type  Reclaimable      1      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0
Node    0, zone      DMA, type      Movable      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0
Node    0, zone      DMA, type      Reserve      0      4      4      0      0      0      0      1      0      1      0
Node    0, zone   Normal, type    Unmovable    111      8      4      4      2      3      1      0      0      0      0
Node    0, zone   Normal, type  Reclaimable    293     89      8      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0
Node    0, zone   Normal, type      Movable      1      6     13      9      7      6      3      0      0      0      0
Node    0, zone   Normal, type      Reserve      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      0      4

The third part looks like

Number of blocks type     Unmovable  Reclaimable      Movable      Reserve
Node 0, zone      DMA            0            1            2            1
Node 0, zone   Normal            3           17           94            4

To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node()
is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and
/proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication.  It seems specific to what
vmstat.c requires but could be broken out as a general utility function in
mmzone.c if there were other other potential users.
