mm/memcontrol.c: keep local VM counters in sync with the hierarchical ones
After commit 815744d7 ("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events"), the local VM counter are not in sync with the hierarchical ones. Below is one example in a leaf memcg on my server (with 8 CPUs): inactive_file 3567570944 total_inactive_file 3568029696 We find that the deviation is very great because the 'val' in __mod_memcg_state() is in pages while the effective value in memcg_stat_show() is in bytes. So the maximum of this deviation between local VM stats and total VM stats can be (32 * number_of_cpu * PAGE_SIZE), that may be an unacceptably great value. We should keep the local VM stats in sync with the total stats. In order to keep this behavior the same across counters, this patch updates __mod_lruvec_state() and __count_memcg_events() as well.
