[PATCH 02/16] mm: vmstat: use s32 for vm_node_stat_diff in struct per_cpu_nodestat

[Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com>]

Currently s8 type is used for per-cpu caching of per-node statistics.
It works fine because the overfill threshold can't exceed 125.

But if some counters are in bytes (and the next commit in the series
will convert slab counters to bytes), it's not gonna work:
value in bytes can easily exceed s8 without exceeding the threshold
converted to bytes. So to avoid overfilling per-cpu caches and breaking
vmstats correctness, let's use s32 instead.

This doesn't affect per-zone statistics. There are no plans to use
zone-level byte-sized counters, so no reasons to change anything.
