Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: compaction: add /proc/vmstat entry for rescued
 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <b.zolnierkie@...sung.com>
Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: add /proc/vmstat entry for rescued MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks

compact_rescued_unmovable_blocks shows the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
pageblocks converted back to MIGRATE_MOVABLE type by the memory compaction
code.  Non-zero values indicate that large kernel-originated allocations
of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type happen in the system and need special handling 
from the memory compaction code.

This new vmstat entry is optional but useful for development and understanding
the system.
