PageAnon() and PageKsm() use the low two bits of the page->mapping pointer
to indicate the page type. PageAnon() only checks the LSB while PageKsm()
checks the least significant 2 bits are equal to 3. Therefore, PageAnon()
is true for KSM pages.
__dump_page() incorrectly will never print "ksm" because it checks
PageAnon() first. Fix this by checking PageKsm() first.

Thanks for spotting this

The four values from those two lowest bits have different meaning, so PageKsm is
true does not mean we can consider PageAnon is also true or PageMovable is also
true.
Improve PageAnon() would be better, so users of those APIs do not need to
remember this implict checking sequence at other places.

Looked the reference to PageAnon() again, there are many use of PageAnon() to
cover cases for both Anon without KSM and Anon with KSM. Change PageAnon()
implementation require change those places, so keep this patch for current issue is
enough.
