tools/vm/page_owner_sort: fix -f option
The -f option is to filter out the information of blocks whose memory has not been released, I noticed some blocks should not be filtered out. Commit 9cc7e96a ("mm/page_owner: record timestamp and pid") records the allocation timestamp (ts_nsec) of all pages. Commit 866b4852 ("mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages during free") records the free timestamp (free_ts_nsec) of all pages. When the page is allocated for the first time, the initial value of free_ts_nsec is 0, and the corresponding time will be obtained when the page is released. But during reallocation the free_ts_nsec will not reset to 0 again. In particular, when page migration occurs, these two timestamps will be the same. Now page_owner_sort removes all text blocks whose free_ts_nsec is not 0 when using -f option. However, this way can only select pages allocated for the first time. If a freed page is reallocated, free_ts_nsec will be less than ts_nsec; if page migration occurs, the two timestamps will be equal. These cases should be considered as pages are not released. So I fix the function is_need() to keep text blocks that meet the above two conditions when using -f option.
