Alex Chiang bb86a7338b page-types: exit early when invoked with -d|--describe
On a system with large amount of memory (256GB), invoking page-types can
take quite a long time, which is unreasonable considering the user only
wants a description of the flags:

	# time ./page-types -d 0x10
	0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

	real	0m34.285s
	user	0m1.966s
	sys	0m32.313s

This is because we still walk the entire address range.

Exiting early seems like a reasonble solution:

# time ./page-types -d 0x10
	0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

	real	0m0.007s
	user	0m0.001s
	sys	0m0.005s
