Subject: [PATCH v11 1/6] mm/vmstat: Add CPU-specific variable to track a vmstat discrepancy

From: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>

Introduce a CPU-specific variable namely vmstat_dirty to indicate
if a vmstat imbalance is present for a given CPU. Therefore, at
the appropriate time, we can fold all the remaining differentials.
This patch also provides trivial helpers for modification and testing.
