mm: memcontrol: convert NR_SHMEM_PMDMAPPED account to pages
Currently we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat counters,
which leads to inaccurate statistics especially THP vmstat counters. In
the systems with hundreds of processors it can be GBs of memory. For
example, for a 96 CPUs system, the threshold is the maximum number of 125.
And the per cpu counters can cache 23.4375 GB in total.
The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth
of memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like sensible.
Although every THP stats update overflows the per-cpu counter, resorting
to atomic global updates. But it can make the statistics more accuracy
for the THP vmstat counters.
So we convert the NR_SHMEM_PMDMAPPED account to pages. This patch is
consistent with 8f182270dfec ("mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page
arrival"). Doing this also can make the unit of vmstat counters more
unified. Finally, the unit of the vmstat counters are pages, kB and
bytes. The B/KB suffix can tell us that the unit is bytes or kB. The
rest which is without suffix are pages.
