[PATCH] zoned vm counters: convert nr_mapped to per zone counter

Browse Source 
nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of
a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining
when we need to reclaim memory in a zone.

We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new
per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off
from NR_MAPPED in the next patch).

We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations.  This avoids the
looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap +
zone reclaim).
