mm: avoid endless recursion in dump_page()

dump_page() uses page_mapcount() to get mapcount of the page.
page_mapcount() has VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageSlab(page)) as mapcount doesn't
make sense for slab pages and the field in struct page used for other
information.

It leads to recursion if dump_page() called for slub page and DEBUG_VM
is enabled:

dump_page() -> page_mapcount() -> VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() -> dump_page -> ...

Let's avoid calling page_mapcount() for slab pages in dump_page().
