Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: memcg: refactor page state unit helpers

memcg_page_state_unit() is currently used to identify the unit of a
memcg state item so that all stats in memory.stat are in bytes. However,
it lies about the units of WORKINGSET_* stats. These stats actually
represent pages, but we present them to userspace as a scalar number of
events. In retrospect, maybe those stats should have been memcg "events"
rather than memcg "state".

In preparation for using memcg_page_state_unit() for other purposes that
need to know the truthful units of different stat items, break it down
into two helpers:
- memcg_page_state_unit() retuns the actual unit of the item.
- memcg_page_state_output_unit() returns the unit used for output.

Use the latter instead of the former in memcg_page_state_output() and
lruvec_page_state_output(). While we are at it, let's show cgroup v1
some love and add memcg_page_state_local_output() for consistency.

No functional change intended.
