x86/mm: Add debug code to detect illegal page_lock and put_page_type ordering

The fix for XSA-242 depends on the same cpu never calling
_put_page_type() while holding a page_lock() for that page; doing so
may cause a deadlock under the right conditions.

Furthermore, even before that, there was never any discipline for the
order in which page locks are grabbed; if there are any paths that
grab the locks for two different pages at once, we risk creating the
conditions for a deadlock to occur.

These are believed to be safe, because it is believed that:
1. No hypervisor paths ever lock two pages at once, and
2. We never call _put_page_type() on a page while holding its page lock.

Add a check to debug builds to catch any violations of these
assumpitons.
