tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: support sorting blocks by multiple keys
When viewing page owner information, we may want to sort blocks of information by multiple keys, since one single key does not uniquely identify a block. Therefore, following adjustments are made: 1. Add a new --sort option to support sorting blocks of information by multiple keys. ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=<order> ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort <order> <order> is a single argument in the form of a comma-separated list, which offers a way to specify sorting order. Sorting syntax is [+|-]key[,[+|-]key[,...]]. The ascending or descending order can be specified by adding the + (ascending, default) or - (descend -ing) prefix to the key: ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> [option] --sort -key1,+key2,key3... For example, to sort the blocks first by task command name in lexicographic order and then by pid in ascending numerical order, use the following: ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=name,+pid To sort the blocks first by pid in ascending order and then by timestamp of the page when it is allocated in descending order, use the following: ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=pid,-alloc_ts 2. Add explanations of a newly added --sort option in the function usage() and the document(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst).
