mm: let _folio_nr_pages overlay memcg_data in first tail page

Let's free up some more of the "unconditionally available on 64BIT" space
in order-1 folios by letting _folio_nr_pages overlay memcg_data in the
first tail page (second folio page).  Consequently, we have the
optimization now whenever we have CONFIG_MEMCG, independent of 64BIT.

We have to make sure that page->memcg on tail pages does not return
"surprises".  page_memcg_check() already properly refuses PageTail(). 
Let's do that earlier in print_page_owner_memcg() to avoid printing wrong
"Slab cache page" information.  No other code should touch that field on
tail pages of compound pages.

Reset the "_nr_pages" to 0 when splitting folios, or when freeing them
back to the buddy (to avoid false page->memcg_data "bad page" reports).

Note that in __split_huge_page(), folio_nr_pages() would stop working
already as soon as we start messing with the subpages.

Most kernel configs should have at least CONFIG_MEMCG enabled, even if
disabled at runtime.  64byte "struct memmap" is what we usually have on
64BIT.

While at it, rename "_folio_nr_pages" to "_nr_pages".

Hopefully memdescs / dynamically allocating "strut folio" in the future
will further clean this up, e.g., making _nr_pages available in all
configs and maybe even in small folios.  Doing that should be fairly easy
on top of this change.
