memcg: break out event counters from other stats
For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense
to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during
updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event
counters.
All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count
events even with the sign bit wasted.
This patch:
- divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned
monotonically increasing event counters.
- converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than
'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters.
The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs,
that is).
