[RFC v7 11/11] add purged page information in vmstat

[Minchan Kim]

This patch adds vmstat information about discarded page in vrange
so admin can see how many of volatile pages are discarded by VM
and efficieny. it could be indicator for seeing vrange working
well.

PG_VRANGE_SCAN : the number of scanned pages for discarding
PG_VRANGE_DISCARD: the number of discarded pages in kswapd's vrange LRU order
PGDISCARD_DIRECT : the number of discarded pages in process context
PGDISCARD_KSWAPD : the number of discarded pages in kswapd's page LRU order
