[RFC mm][PATCH 3/5] counting swap ents per mm

One of frequent questions from users about memory management is
what numbers of swap ents are user for processes. And this information will
give some hints to oom-killer.

Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning
/proc/<pid>/smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process information
handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'.
(ps or top is now enough slow..)

This patch adds a counter of swapents to mm_counter and update is at
each swap events. Information is exported via /proc/<pid>/status file as
