[PATCH v5 02/19] mm: memcg: prepare for byte-sized vmstat items

[Roman Gushchin]

To implement per-object slab memory accounting, we need to
convert slab vmstat counters to bytes. Actually, out of
4 levels of counters: global, per-node, per-memcg and per-lruvec
only two last levels will require byte-sized counters.
It's because global and per-node counters will be counting the
number of slab pages, and per-memcg and per-lruvec will be
counting the amount of memory taken by charged slab objects.

Converting all vmstat counters to bytes or even all slab
counters to bytes would introduce an additional overhead.
So instead let's store global and per-node counters
in pages, and memcg and lruvec counters in bytes.

To make the API clean all access helpers (both on the read
and write sides) are dealing with bytes.

To avoid back-and-forth conversions a new flavor of read-side
helpers is introduced, which always returns values in pages:
node_page_state_pages() and global_node_page_state_pages().

Actually new helpers are just reading raw values. Old helpers are
simple wrappers, which will complain on an attempt to read
byte value, because at the moment no one actually needs bytes.

Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the idea of having the byte-sized API
on top of the page-sized internal storage.
