[PATCH] mm: bump PGSTEAL*/PGSCAN*/ALLOCSTALL counters in memcg reclaim

[Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com>]

Historically, PGSTEAL*/PGSCAN*/ALLOCSTALL counters were used to
account only for global reclaim events, memory cgroup targeted reclaim
was ignored.

It doesn't make sense anymore, because the whole reclaim path
is designed around cgroups. Also, per-cgroup counters can exceed the
corresponding global counters, what can be confusing.

So, make PGSTEAL*/PGSCAN*/ALLOCSTALL counters reflect sum of any
reclaim activity in the system.
