While building for another target with a different configuration I
noticed that inc/dec/mod_memcg_page_state() are also called with a
conflicting enum type. Changing the parameter type for these functions
also would make the API more consistent, with the current patch there
is a somewhat odd mix of related functions, with some receiving an
enum and others an int.

Depending on your preference I can send a v3 of this patch or a
separate patch to address the remaining functions (since this patch
has already been added to -mm).
