Subject: [PATCH V4 6/6] proc: show MADV_FREE pages info in smaps

show MADV_FREE pages info of each vma in smaps. The interface is for
diganose or monitoring purpose, userspace could use it to understand
what happens in the application. Since userspace could dirty MADV_FREE
pages without notice from kernel, this interface is the only place we
can get accurate accounting info about MADV_FREE pages.

 "Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file.  Even
 a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE
 and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
+"LazyFree" shows the amount of memory which is marked by madvise(MADV_FREE).
+The memory isn't freed immediately with madvise(). It's freed in memory
+pressure if the memory is clean.
 "AnonHugePages" shows the ammount of memory backed by transparent hugepage.
 "ShmemPmdMapped" shows the ammount of shared (shmem/tmpfs) memory backed by
 huge pages.
