Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm: restore node stat checking in
 /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh

v4.7 52b6f46bc163 ("mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat update")
introduced vmstat_refresh(), with its vmstat underflow checking; then
v4.8 75ef71840539 ("mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats")
split NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS out of NR_VM_ZONE_STAT_ITEMS without updating
vmstat_refresh(): so it has been missing out much of the vmstat underflow
checking ever since. Reinstate it. Thanks to Roman Gushchin <guro@...com>
for tangentially pointing this out.
