proc: show MADV_FREE pages info in smaps 

Show MADV_FREE pages info of each vma in smaps.  The interface is for
diganose or monitoring purpose, userspace could use it to understand
what happens in the application.  Since userspace could dirty MADV_FREE
pages without notice from kernel, this interface is the only place we
can get accurate accounting info about MADV_FREE pages.

"Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file.  Even

a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE

and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.

"LazyFree" shows the amount of memory which is marked by madvise(MADV_FREE).

The memory isn't freed immediately with madvise(). It's freed in memory

pressure if the memory is clean. Please note that the printed value might

be lower than the real value due to optimizations used in the current

implementation. If this is not desirable please file a bug report.

"AnonHugePages" shows the ammount of memory backed by transparent hugepage.

"ShmemPmdMapped" shows the ammount of shared (shmem/tmpfs) memory backed by

huge pages.
