[RFC v4 3/3] add PGVOLATILE vmstat count

[Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>]

This patch add pgvolatile vmstat so admin can see how many of volatile
pages are discarded by VM until now. It could be a good indicator of
patch effect during test but still not sure we need it in real practice.
Will rethink it.
