46c77e2bb0 tools/vm/page-types.c: support KPF_SOFTDIRTY bit
Soft dirty bit allows us to track which pages are written since the last
clear_ref (by "echo 4 > /proc/pid/clear_refs".) This is useful for
userspace applications to know their memory footprints.

Note that the kernel exposes this flag via bit[55] of /proc/pid/pagemap,
and the semantics is not a default one (scheduled to be the default in the
near future.) However, it shifts to the new semantics at the first
clear_ref, and the users of soft dirty bit always do it before utilizing
the bit, so that's not a big deal.  Users must avoid relying on the bit in
page-types before the first clear_ref.

9295b7a07c kbuild: install kernel-page-flags.h
Programs using /proc/kpageflags need to know about the various flags.  The
<linux/kernel-page-flags.h> provides them and the comments in the file
indicate that it is supposed to be used by user-level code.  But the file
is not installed.

Install the headers and mark the unstable flags as out-of-bounds.  The
page-type tool is also adjusted to not duplicate the definitions

e873c49fbf pagemap: export KPF_THP
This flag shows that a given page is a subpage of a transparent hugepage.
It helps us debug and test the kernel by showing physical address of thp.

1a9b5b7fe0 mm: export stable page flags
Rename get_uflags() to stable_page_flags() and make it a global function
for use in the hwpoison page flags filter, which need to compare user
page flags with the value provided by user space.

Also move KPF_* to kernel-page-flags.h for use by user space tools.
