Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmstat: Fix placement of per-node stats in /proc/zoneinfo

The per-node stats in /proc/zoneinfo output are incorrectly inserted
between the first populated zone title and its specific stats. This
creates confusion while reading or parsing its output.

Output of /proc/zoneinfo

Node 0, zone      DMA
  per-node stats
      nr_inactive_anon 2096
...
  pages free     2814
        boost    0
...
      nr_free_pages 2814
...
Node 0, zone    DMA32
  pages free     357384
        boost    0
...
...
Node 1, zone   Normal
  per-node stats
      nr_inactive_anon 87606
...
  pages free     51836334
        boost    0
...
Node 1, zone  Movable
  pages free     0
        boost    0

This patch relocates the per-node stats at the beginning for each node,
followed by the individual zone statistics. This fix results in a clearer
and more consistent output format.

/proc/zoneinfo output with proposed fix:

Node 0, per-node stats
      nr_inactive_anon 2783
      nr_active_anon 36
...
Node 0, zone      DMA
  pages free     3584
        boost    0
        min      46
...
...

Remove is_zone_first_populated() as it is not used anywhere else.
