Re: [PATCH v6 2/9] mm/page_owner: add MR_NEVER to enum migrate_reason and use it for last_migrate_reason

The last_migrate_reason field uses -1 as a sentinel value to mean "no
migration has happened".  Replace the four bare -1 occurrences by
adding a proper MR_NEVER member to enum migrate_reason, defining a
corresponding "never_migrated" string in the MIGRATE_REASON trace
macro, and updating the GDB page_owner script to use MR_NEVER instead
of the hardcoded -1 so that lx-dump-page-owner does not incorrectly
report unmigrated pages as migrated.

No functional change.

Shouldn't this be more like

"MR_NONE" ?

As "never" is not really a "reason" ?
