Light weight counter functions
The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patch has been
applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no essential function
for the VM and therefore we can make these counters lightweight by ignoring
races and also allow an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building
of a linux kernels without these counters.
The implementation of these counters is through inline code that typically
results in a simple increment of a global memory locations.
Also
- Rename page_state to event_state
- Make event state an array indexed by the event item.
