We already have NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_RECLAIMABLE now counts what
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE counts plus something else. THis means updating
two counters in parallel.
Could keep the existing counter and just account
for those non slab things you mentioned? Avoid counting twice and may
provide unique insides into those non slab reclaimable objects. I'd like
to see this.
