Subject: [PATCH 3/6] mm: numa: Handle side-effects in count_vm_numa_events() for !CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING

The current definitions for count_vm_numa_events() is wrong for
!CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING as the following would miss the side-effect.

	count_vm_numa_events(NUMA_FOO, bar++);

There are no such users of count_vm_numa_events() but it is a potential
pitfall. This patch fixes it and converts count_vm_numa_event() so that
the definitions look similar.
