The names are very similar and it would be preferred if the names were
visually different like sum_zone_numa_stat() which is hard to confuse with
the zone stat fields.

Similar with NR_VM_ZONE_NUMA_STAT_ITEMS, it's too similar to
NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS.

Ok. this slightly increases the size of the per_cpu_pageset due to
numa_stat_threshold. The structure occupes 2 cache lines and still occupies
2 cache lines afterwards so that is ok but consider hard-coding the value
of it. The locality stats are never used as part of a decision made by the
kernel and they get summed when reading proc unconditionally. There is little
benefit to tuning that threshold at all and there should be a very small
performance gain if it's removed because it'll be a compile-time constant.

The rest of the patch is mostly mechanical.
