Kernel file pages are tricky to track because they are indistinguishable from files whose usage is accounted to the root cgroup. To maintain good accounting, introduce a vmstat counter tracking kernel file pages. Confirmed that these work as expected at a high level by mounting a btrfs using AS_KERNEL_FILE for metadata pages, and seeing the counter rise with fs usage then go back to a minimal level after drop_caches and finally down to 0 after unmounting the fs.
