[PATCH 2/5] mm: don't vmalloc a huge page_to_node array for do_pages_stat()

[Brice Goglin]

do_pages_stat() does not need any page_to_node entry for real.
Just pass the pointers to the user-space page address array and to
the user-space status array, and have do_pages_stat() traverse the
former and fill the latter directly.
