[PATCH v2 1/1] lib: add version into /proc/allocinfo output

[Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com>]

Add version string and a header at the beginning of /proc/allocinfo to
allow later format changes. Example output:

> head /proc/allocinfo
allocinfo - version: 1.0
#     <size>  <calls> <tag info>
           0        0 init/main.c:1314 func:do_initcalls

         128        1 arch/x86/events/rapl.c:571 func:rapl_cpu_online
