Subject: mm, vmstat: Make sure mutex is a global static

The mutex in sysctl_vm_numa_stat_handler() needs to be a global static,
not a stack variable, otherwise it doesn't serve any purpose.  Also,
reading the file with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y will complain:

[   63.258593] INFO: trying to register non-static key.
