mm/vmalloc: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting
As CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC can be enabled/disabled via kernel parameters
we can optimize some cases by checking the enablement state.

This is follow-up work for Christian's Optimize CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/27/194

Remaining work is to make sparc to be aware of this but it looks not
easy for me so I skip that in this series.

This patch (of 5):

We can disable debug_pagealloc processing even if the code is complied
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.  This patch changes the code to query
whether it is enabled or not in runtime.
