[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 36/39] mm/vmstat.c: assert that vmstat_text is in sync with stat_items_size

[ Upstream commit f0ecf25a093fc0589f0a6bc4c1ea068bbb67d220 ]

Having two gigantic arrays that must manually be kept in sync, including
ifdefs, isn't exactly robust. To make it easier to catch such issues in
the future, add a BUILD_BUG_ON().
