The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
declared during the page allocation via gfp_flags. This is also checked against
the pageblock's migratetype, and reported as Fallback allocation if these two
differ (although in fact fallback allocation is not the only reason why they
can differ).
However, the migratetype actually printed is the one of the pageblock, not of
the page itself, so it's the same for all pages in the pageblock. This is
apparently a bug, noticed when working on other page_owner improvements. Fixed.
