mm/page_owner: fix recursion bug after changing skip entries

[ Upstream commit 299815a4fba9f3c7a81434dba0072148f1690608 ]

This patch fixes commit 5f48f0bd4e36 ("mm, page_owner: skip unnecessary
stack_trace entries").

Because if we skip first two entries then logic of checking count value
as 2 for recursion is broken and code will go in one depth recursion.

so we need to check only one call of _RET_IP(__set_page_owner) while
checking for recursion.

Current Backtrace while checking for recursion:-

  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)  // (But recursion returns true here)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)
  (get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask)
  (__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
  (depot_save_stack)       from (save_stack)       // recursion should return true here
  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)
  (get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
  (__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
  (depot_save_stack)       from (save_stack)
  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)

Correct Backtrace with fix:

  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner) // recursion returned true here
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)
  (get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
  (__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
  (depot_save_stack)       from (save_stack)
  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)
