Although the increase in the mem_cgroup struct introduced by this patch
looks scary, I agree this is a reasonable step toward unification of
vmstat, as most vm_even_item entries do make sense to be accounted per
cgroup as well.

AFAIR this doesn't exactly match system-wide PGPGIN/PGPGOUT: they are
supposed to account only paging events involving IO while currently they
include faulting in zero pages and zapping a process address space.
Probably, this should be revised before rolling out to cgroup v2.
