[PATCH v7 2/4] mm,page_owner: Implement the tracking of the stacks count

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 18:47:59 EST


page_owner needs to increment a stack_record refcount when a new allocation
occurs, and decrement it on a free operation.
In order to do that, we need to have a way to get a stack_record from a
handle.
Implement stack_depot_get_stack() which just does that, and make it public
so page_owner can use it.

Also implement {inc,dec}_stack_record_count() which increments
or decrements on respective allocation and free operations, via
__reset_page_owner() (free operation) and __set_page_owner() (alloc
operation).
