[v7 8/8] mm: add vmstat counters for tracking PCP drains

[Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com>]

This patch introduces two new vmstat counters for testing purposes:
pcp_global_drain that counts the number of times a per-cpu pages
global drain was requested and pcp_global_ipi_saved that counts
the number of times the number of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any
zone were less then 1/2 of the number of online CPUs.

The patch purpose is to show the usefulness of only sending an IPI
asking to drain per-cpu pages to CPUs that actually have them
instead of a blind global IPI. It is probably not useful by itself.
