Subject: [PATCH 2/5] add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()


ChangeLog
  Since v2
   - Changed display order, now, "buffer" field display right after unstable

  Since v1
   - Fixed showing the number with kilobyte unit issue

================
Subject: [PATCH] add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()

When administrator analysis memory shortage reason from OOM log, They
often need to know rest number of cache like pages.

Then, show_free_areas() shouldn't only display page cache, but also it
should display buffer cache.
