Subject: [PATCH -mm -v4 1/5] mm, swap: Add swap readahead hit statistics

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

The statistics for total readahead pages and total readahead hits are
recorded and exported via the following sysfs interface.

/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_hits
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_total

With them, the efficiency of the swap readahead could be measured, so
that the swap readahead algorithm and parameters could be tuned
accordingly.
