mm, compaction: add vmstats for kcompactd work
A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of times kcompactd has woken up. This doesn't represent how much work it actually did, though. It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly triggered per-node (or system) compaction. This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and "compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner, respectively. These values are still accounted for in the general "compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility. It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.
