========================
Subject: [PATCH] add shmem vmstat

Recently, We faced several OOM problem by plenty GEM cache. and generally,
plenty Shmem/Tmpfs potentially makes memory shortage problem.

We often use following calculation to know shmem pages,
shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES
but it is wrong expression. it doesn't consider isolated page and
mlocked page.

Then, This patch make explicit Shmem/Tmpfs vm-stat accounting.
