Prior to 217b2119b9e2 ("mm,page_owner: implement the tracking of the
stacks count") the only place where page_owner could potentially go into
recursion due to its need of allocating more memory was in save_stack(),
which ends up calling into stackdepot code with the possibility of
allocating memory.

We made sure to guard against that by signaling that the current task was
already in page_owner code, so in case a recursion attempt was made, we
could catch that and return dummy_handle.

After above commit, a new place in page_owner code was introduced where we
could allocate memory, meaning we could go into recursion would we take
that path.

Make sure to signal that we are in page_owner in that codepath as well.
Move the guard code into two helpers {un}set_current_in_page_owner() and
use them prior to calling in the two functions that might allocate memory.
