Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: add MemAvailable to per-node meminfo

In /proc/meminfo, we can show the sum of all the available memory
as "MemAvailable". Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo
under /sys.

With this counter, some processes that bind nodes can make some
decisions by reading the "MemAvailable" of the corresponding nodes
directly.
