When page_poison detects page corruption it's useful to see who freed a
page recently to have a guess where write-after-free corruption happens.
After this change corruption report has extra page data.
Example report from real corruption (includes only page_pwner part):
pagealloc: memory corruption

Here we can see that page was freed by page migration but something
managed to write to it afterwards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
