Now that the free block count for each migration types in
/proc/pagetypeinfo may not show the exact count if it excceeds
100,000. Users may not know how much more the counts will be. As the
free_area structure has already tracked the total free block count in
nr_free, we may as well print it out with no additional cost. That will
give users a rough idea of where the upper bounds will be.

If there is no overflow, the presence of the total counts will also
enable us to check if the nr_free counts match the total number of
entries in the free lists.

This is essentially duplicating /proc/buddyinfo. Do we really need that?

Yes, you are right. As the information is available elsewhere. I am fine
with dropping this.
