mm/alloc_tag: replace fixed-size early PFN array with dynamic linked list
Pages allocated before page_ext is available have their codetag left uninitialized. Track these early PFNs and clear their codetag in clear_early_alloc_pfn_tag_refs() to avoid "alloc_tag was not set" warnings when they are freed later. Currently a fixed-size array of 8192 entries is used, with a warning if the limit is exceeded. However, the number of early allocations depends on the number of CPUs and can be larger than 8192. Replace the fixed-size array with a dynamically allocated linked list of pfn_pool structs. Each node is allocated via alloc_page() and mapped to a pfn_pool containing a next pointer, an atomic slot counter, and a PFN array that fills the remainder of the page. The tracking pages themselves are allocated via alloc_page(), which would trigger __pgalloc_tag_add() -> alloc_tag_add_early_pfn() and recurse indefinitely. Introduce __GFP_NO_CODETAG (reuses the %__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT bit) and pass gfp_flags through pgalloc_tag_add() so that the early path can skip recording allocations that carry this flag.
