mm/page_reporting: allow driver to specify reporting order 

The page reporting order (threshold) is sticky to @pageblock_order by
default.  The page reporting can never be triggered because the freeing
page can't come up with a free area like that huge.  The situation becomes
worse when the system memory becomes heavily fragmented.

For example, the following configurations are used on ARM64 when 64KB base
page size is enabled.  In this specific case, the page reporting won't be
triggered until the freeing page comes up with a 512MB free area.  That's
hard to be met, especially when the system memory becomes heavily
fragmented.

   PAGE_SIZE:          64KB
   HPAGE_SIZE:         512MB
   pageblock_order:    13       (512MB)
   MAX_ORDER:          14

This allows the drivers to specify the page reporting order when the page
reporting device is registered.  It falls back to @pageblock_order if it's
not specified by the driver.  The existing users (hv_balloon and
virtio_balloon) don't specify it and @pageblock_order is still taken as
their page reporting order.  So this shouldn't introduce any functional
changes.
