Subject: [PATCH 5/4] mm: remove unevictable_pgs_mlockfreed

Simply remove UNEVICTABLE_MLOCKFREED and unevictable_pgs_mlockfreed
line from /proc/vmstat: Johannes and Mel point out that it was very
unlikely to have been used by any tool, and of course we can restore
it easily enough if that turns out to be wrong.
