[PATCH v2] Show kernel stack usage to /proc/meminfo and OOM log

[KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>]

Subject: [PATCH] Show kernel stack usage to /proc/meminfo and OOM log

if the system have a lot of thread, kernel stack consume unignorable large size
memory.
IOW, it make a lot of unaccountable memory.

Tons unaccountable memory bring to harder analyse memory related trouble.

Then, kernel stack account is useful.
