[Buildroot] [git commit] package/linux-tools: introduce linux mm tools

[Yann E. MORIN]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=39aaf091ae0a88a7f84c50d52aff84c36caeadaa
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This toolset was designed to facilitate the testing, monitoring, and
tracing of various things with virtual memory, pages, and slab objects.
It is an invaluable resource for identifying and analyzing
memory-related issues, such as leaks and bottlenecks, and can greatly
enhance one's understanding of memory utilization within a system.

The mm toolset includes:
    - page_owner_sort: userspace helper to sort the output of
      /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner, which helps to know who allocates
      the page from kernel context
    - slabinfo: the tool which gets reports about slabs, for example
      show empty slabs, modify of slab debug options at runtime, display
      all information about a slabcache
    - page-types: a handy tool for querying page flags

[yann.morin.1998 at free.fr:
  - don't depend on linux, already a patch dependency
  - don't set CC: default is based on CROSS_COMPILE
  - no need to fully recheck at install time
  - move the option for alphabetical ordering
  - fix check-package
