Suren Baghdasaryan b9e2f58ffb alloc_tag: mark inaccurate allocation counters in /proc/allocinfo output
While rare, memory allocation profiling can contain inaccurate counters if
slab object extension vector allocation fails.  That allocation might
succeed later but prior to that, slab allocations that would have used
that object extension vector will not be accounted for.  To indicate
incorrect counters, "accurate:no" marker is appended to the call site line
in the /proc/allocinfo output.  Bump up /proc/allocinfo version to reflect
the change in the file format and update documentation.

Example output with invalid counters:
allocinfo - version: 2.0
