This really makes sense rather then just picking the reason from
the last "if" statement.

We should have a NR_BAD_PAGE_REASONS or something to cap this iteration
and also check reason[i] for non-NULL before trying to print the array.
There might be call sites like the following which will be problematic
otherwise.

split_huge_page_to_list() -> dump_page(head, NULL)

While here, will it be better to move the above debug print block after
mem_cgroup block instead ?

Do we still need to have bad_flags ? After consolidating all reasons making
a page bad should not we just print page->flags unconditionally each time and
let the user decipher it instead. __dump_page() will print page->flags for
each case (atleast after the new patch from Vlastimil). AFAICS, the only
place currently consuming bad_flags is bad_page() which seems redundant after
first calling __dump_page().
