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
...

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
