Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm: show number of vmalloc pages in /proc/meminfo

Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks,
bpf and percpu allocator are new top users), and the total %
of memory consumed by vmalloc() can be pretty significant
and changes dynamically.

/proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information:
its top goal is to show top consumers of the memory.

Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use
for quite a long time (it has been defined to 0 by the
commit a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from
/proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the actual
physical memory consumption of vmalloc().
