While I did stress test with hackbench, I got OOM message frequently which
didn't ever happen in zone-lru.

The order-0 allocation for normal zone failed while there are a lot of
reclaimable memory(i.e., anonymous memory with free swap). I wanted to
analyze the problem but it was hard because we removed per-zone lru stat
so I couldn't know how many of anonymous memory there are in normal/dma zone.

When we investigate OOM problem, reclaimable memory count is crucial stat
to find a problem. Without it, it's hard to parse the OOM message so I
believe we should keep it.

With per-zone lru stat,

With that, we can see normal zone has a 86M reclaimable memory so we can
know something goes wrong(I will fix the problem in next patch) in reclaim.
