Mapped, dirty and writeback pages are also counted in per-lruvec stats.
These counters needs update when page is moved between cgroups.

Please mention in the changelog that currently is nobody *consuming*
the lruvec versions of these counters and that there is no
user-visible effect. Thanks


Maybe just kill all these per-lruvec counters?
I see only one user which have no alternative data source: WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE.

This will save some memory: 32 * sizeof(long) * nr_nodes * nr_cpus bytes
