mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/status 

There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file).  The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim,
file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a
place in swap.

Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings,
one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file
mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these
mappings (i.e.  equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file.  Getting
the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly
(the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable).

To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of
VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and
RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch.  These fields
tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped
regular files and shmem, respectively.  Other existing fields in /status
and /statm files are left without change.  The /statm file can be
extended in the future, if there's a need for that.

Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields:
