mm: show migration types in show_mem

This is useful to diagnose the reason for page allocation failure for
cases where there appear to be several free pages.

Example, with this alloc_pages(GFP_ATOMIC) failure:

 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x0
 ...
 Mem-info:
 Normal per-cpu:
 CPU    0: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  48
 CPU    1: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  21
 active_anon:0 inactive_anon:0 isolated_anon:0
  active_file:0 inactive_file:84 isolated_file:0
  unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0
  free:4026 slab_reclaimable:75 slab_unreclaimable:484
  mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0
 Normal free:16104kB min:2296kB low:2868kB high:3444kB active_anon:0kB
 inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:336kB unevictable:0kB
 isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:331776kB mlocked:0kB
 dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:0kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:300kB
 slab_unreclaimable:1936kB kernel_stack:328kB pagetables:0kB unstable:0kB
 bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no
 lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0

Before the patch, it's hard (for me, at least) to say why all these free
chunks weren't considered for allocation:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB
 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 3*4096kB = 16128kB

After the patch, it's obvious that the reason is that all of these are
in the MIGRATE_CMA (C) freelist:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (C) 1*512kB
 (C) 1*1024kB (C) 1*2048kB (C) 3*4096kB (C) = 16128kB
