This patch add a new /proc/mempool file in order to display mempool usage.

The feature can be disabled with CONFIG_PROC_MEMPOOL=N during kernel
configuration.
We're NOT adding config option per proc file.

And can we, please, freeze /proc for not per-process stuff and open debugfs
for random stuff, please?
debugfs has been open for random stuff since the day it was added to the
tree :)

Feel free to put this kind of thing there instead of proc.
Do distros ship with debugfs enabled?
The problem with using debugfs is that it is very optional IMO.
