mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat

Browse Source 
Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache.
Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory
shortage problem.

We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:

shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES

however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.

This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.
