From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: restore node stat checking in /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh
v4.7 52b6f46bc163 ("mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat update")
introduced vmstat_refresh(), with its vmstat underflow checking; then v4.8
75ef71840539 ("mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats") split
NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS out of NR_VM_ZONE_STAT_ITEMS without updating
vmstat_refresh(): so it has been missing out much of the vmstat underflow
checking ever since. Reinstate it. Thanks to Roman Gushchin
<guro@xxxxxx> for tangentially pointing this out.
