[patch 1/3] lib: test_vmstat: add synthetic benchmark for vm stats

[David Rientjes]

From: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a synthetic benchmark that can be used to measure performance of VM
statistics.  This is used to analyze any improvements or regressions in
functions that are frequently used in hot code paths.

The test is run by inserting the module: modprobe test_vmstat
The module insertion will always fail so that it is automatically
unloaded; the results are in the kernel log.
