mm: export unusable free space index via debugfs

The unusable free space index measures how much of the available free
memory cannot be used to satisfy an allocation of a given size and is a
value between 0 and 1.  The higher the value, the more of free memory is
unusable and by implication, the worse the external fragmentation is.  For
the most part, the huge page size will be the size of interest but not
necessarily so it is exported on a per-order and per-zone basis via
/sys/kernel/debug/extfrag/unusable_index.
