[PATCH] mm: detect numbers of vmstat keys/values mismatch

From: Yu Zhao
Date: Mon Oct 15 2018 - 14:38:50 EST


There were mismatches between number of vmstat keys and number of
vmstat values. They were fixed recently by:
commit 58bc4c34d249 ("mm/vmstat.c: skip NR_TLB_REMOTE_FLUSH* properly")
commit 28e2c4bb99aa ("mm/vmstat.c: fix outdated vmstat_text")

Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to detect such mismatch and hopefully prevent
it from happening again.
