Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks,
bpf and percpu allocator are new top users), and the total %
of memory consumed by vmalloc() can be pretty significant
and changes dynamically.

/proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information:
its top goal is to show top consumers of the memory.

Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use
for quite a long time (it has been defined to 0 by the
commit a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from
/proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the actual
physical memory consumption of vmalloc().

Do you see significant contention on nr_vmalloc_pages?  Also, if it's
just an atomic_long_t, is it worth having an accessor for it?  And if
it is worth having an accessor for it, then it can be static.

Also, I seem to be missing 3/4.

Not really, so I decided that per-cpu counter is an overkill
right now; but we can easily switch over once we'll notice any contention.
Will add static.

Hm, https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/14/1048 ?

Thanks!
