In debug_vm_pgtable(), there are many local variables introduced to track the needed information and they are passed to the functions for various test cases. It'd better to introduce a struct as place holder for these information. With it, what the functions for various test cases need is the struct, to simplify the code. It also makes code easier to be maintained. Besides, set_xxx_at() could access the data on the corresponding pages in the page table modifying tests. So the accessed pages in the tests should have been allocated from buddy. Otherwise, we're accessing pages that aren't owned by us. This causes issues like page flag corruption. This introduces "struct pgtable_debug_args". The struct is initialized and destroyed, but the information in the struct isn't used yet. They will be used in subsequent patches.
