Subject: [PATCH] meminfo: provide estimated per-node's available memory

The system offers an estimate of the per-node's available memory,
in addition to the system's available memory provided by /proc/meminfo.

like commit 34e431b0ae39("/proc/meminfo: provide estimated available
memory"), it is more convenient to provide such an estimate in
/sys/bus/node/devices/nodex/meminfo. If things change in the future,
we only have to change it in one place.

Shown below:
/sys/bus/node/devices/node1/meminfo:
Node 1 MemTotal: 4084480 kB
Node 1 MemFree: 3348820 kB
Node 1 MemAvailable: 3647972 kB
Node 1 MemUsed: 735660 kB
...

The magic number 2 should be a define (or maybe even a tunable). Similar
below. It seems quite arbitrary, but I don't have a better solution
either. Maybe could handle dirty differently, but nothing stands out here

That would be a bug? Perhaps add a WARN_ON


With those changes:
