[PATCH 5/5] mm, memory_hotplug: be more verbose for memory offline failures

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

There is only very limited information printed when the memory offlining
fails:
[ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff

This tells us that the failure is triggered by the userspace
intervention but it doesn't tell us much more about the underlying
reason. It might be that the page migration failes repeatedly and the
userspace timeout expires and send a signal or it might be some of the
earlier steps (isolation, memory notifier) takes too long.

If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which
page that and its state. The same applies to the isolation phase. If we
fail to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the
page would be helpful as well.

Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated. This will
tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.
