KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 82f9d486e5 memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat
The commit log of 0ae5e89c60 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file.  But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.

This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
  - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)

  for both of direct/soft reclaim.

The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as

  # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.

This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information.  For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.

To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.
