Hopefully we can eventually ditch /proc/zoneinfo in favor of a
/proc/nodeinfo and get rid of the per-zone stats accounting.

In general, this patch looks good to me.

Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Only one thing I noticed:

That should also be sum_zone_node_page_state, right? These are not
valid node items (yet).
