[PATCH] proc/kpageflags: add KPF_WAITERS

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru>]

KPF_WAITERS indicates tasks are waiting for a page lock or writeback.
This might be false-positive, in this case next unlock will clear it.
This looks like worth information not only for kernel hacking.

In tool page-types in non-raw mode treat KPF_WAITERS without
KPF_LOCKED and KPF_WRITEBACK as false-positive and hide it.
