There are already statistics of {pgscan,pgsteal}_kswapd and
{pgscan,pgsteal}_direct of memcg event here, but now only the
sum of the two is displayed in memory.stat of cgroup v2.

In order to obtain more accurate information during monitoring
and debugging, and to align with the display in /proc/vmstat,
it better to display {pgscan,pgsteal}_kswapd and
{pgscan,pgsteal}_direct separately.

Also, for forward compatibility, we still display pgscan and
pgsteal items so that it won't break existing applications.

No objection to keeping pgscan and pgsteal, but can you please fix the
doc to present the items in the same order as memory.stat has them?

Sure, will fix.

Thanks,
