why not "limit_steal" ?

Does it make sense to split up the soft_steal/scan for bg reclaim and
direct reclaim? The same for the limit_steal/scan. I am now testing
the patch to add the soft_limit reclaim on global ttfp, and i already
have the patch to add the following:

kswapd_soft_steal 0
kswapd_soft_scan 0
direct_soft_steal 0
direct_soft_scan 0
kswapd_steal 0
pg_pgsteal 0
kswapd_pgscan 0
pg_scan 0

It is more clear to me to have finer granularity of the stats. Let me
know if that works or not. I probably can post it this week.
