Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm: Consider the number in local CPUs when *reads* NUMA stats

To avoid deviation, the per cpu number of NUMA stats in vm_numa_stat_diff[]
is included when a user *reads* the NUMA stats.

Since NUMA stats does not be read by users frequently, and kernel does not
need it to make a decision, it will not be a problem to make the readers
more expensive.

Changelog:
v2:
    a) new creation.
