mm: export fragmentation index via debugfs 



The fragmentation fragmentation index, is only meaningful if an allocation
would fail and indicates what the failure is due to.  A value of -1 such
as in many of the examples above states that the allocation would succeed.
 If it would fail, the value is between 0 and 1.  A value tending towards
0 implies the allocation failed due to a lack of memory.  A value tending
towards 1 implies it failed due to external fragmentation.

For the most part, the huge page size will be the size of interest but not
necessarily so it is exported on a per-order and per-zo basis via
/sys/kernel/debug/extfrag/extfrag_index
