mm: add vmstat for kernel_file pages
Kernel file pages are tricky to track because they are indistinguishable
from files whose usage is accounted to the root cgroup.
To maintain good accounting, introduce a vmstat counter tracking kernel
file pages.
Confirmed that these work as expected at a high level by mounting a btrfs
using AS_KERNEL_FILE for metadata pages, and seeing the counter rise with
fs usage then go back to a minimal level after drop_caches and finally
down to 0 after unmounting the fs.
