Subject: [PATCH v4 10/12] mm/gup: /proc/vmstat: pin_user_pages (FOLL_PIN) reporting

Now that pages are "DMA-pinned" via pin_user_page*(), and unpinned via
unpin_user_pages*(), we need some visibility into whether all of this is
working correctly.

Add two new fields to /proc/vmstat:

    nr_foll_pin_acquired
    nr_foll_pin_released

These are documented in Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst.
They represent the number of pages (since boot time) that have been
pinned ("nr_foll_pin_acquired") and unpinned ("nr_foll_pin_released"),
via pin_user_pages*() and unpin_user_pages*().

In the absence of long-running DMA or RDMA operations that hold pages
pinned, the above two fields will normally be equal to each other.

Also: update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, to remove an
earlier (now confirmed untrue) claim about a performance problem with
/proc/vmstat.

Also: updated Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst to rename the
new /proc/vmstat entries, to the names listed here.
