Introducing the task migration and swap statistics in the following places:
/sys/fs/cgroup/{GROUP}/memory.stat
/proc/{PID}/sched
/proc/vmstat

These statistics facilitate a rapid evaluation of the performance and resource
utilization of the target workload.

Patch 1 is a fix from Libo to avoid task swapping for kernel threads
and user thread that does not have mm, because Numa balance only cares
about the user pages via VMA.

Patch 2 is the major change to expose the statistics of task migration and
swapping in corresponding files.

The reason to fold patch 1 and patch 2 into 1 patch set is that patch 1 is
necessary for patch 2 to avoid accessing a NULL mm_struct from a kernel
thread, which causes NULL pointer exception.

Changes since v5:
Enhance the git commit message to describe the reason why these events
are introduced in memory.stat/vmstat rather than cpu.stat.

OK, thanks, I confirmed that there were no code changes since v5 and I
updated the changelogs in place.

I'll aim to include this series in the second mm.git->Linus pull
request next week, unless someone prevents me.

OK, thanks Andrew.
