mm/page_ext: add common function to get client data from page_ext
Patch series "add page_ext_data to get client data in page_ext". Current clients get data from page_ext by adding offset which is auto generated in page_ext core and exposes the data layout design inside page_ext core. This series adds a page_ext_data() to hide this from clients. Benefits include: 1. Future clients can call page_ext_data directly instead of defining a new function like get_page_owner to get the data. 2. There is no change to clients if the layout of page_ext data changes. This patch (of 3): Add common page_ext_data function to get client data. This could hide offset which is auto generated in page_ext core and expose the desgin of page_ext data layout.
