[PATCH 2/3] mm,vmacache: add debug data

[Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com>]

Introduce a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_VMACACHE option to enable
counting the cache hit rate -- exported in /proc/vmstat.

Any updates to the caching scheme needs this kind of data,
thus it can save some work re-implementing the counting
all the time.
