UPSTREAM: mm: vmalloc: show number of vmalloc pages in /proc/meminfo
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 a5ad88ce ("mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the actual physical memory consumption of vmalloc().
