Add memcg routines to track dirty, writeback, and unstable_NFS pages.
These routines are not yet used by the kernel to count such pages.
A later change adds kernel calls to these new routines.

Changelog since v1:
- Renamed "nfs"/"total_nfs" to "nfs_unstable"/"total_nfs_unstable" in per cgroup
  memory.stat to match /proc/meminfo.
- Rename (for clarity):
  - mem_cgroup_write_page_stat_item -> mem_cgroup_page_stat_item
  - mem_cgroup_read_page_stat_item -> mem_cgroup_nr_pages_item
- Remove redundant comments.
- Made mem_cgroup_move_account_page_stat() inline.

I confused by 'kernel', 'access'?
So, What's the page counts accessed by user?
I don't like such words.

Please, clarify the comment.
'Stats of page that can be tracking by memcg' or whatever.
Ah, yes. that's better.

This part can be simplified by some macro work.
But it's another issue.
Agreed, doing in another patch is better.
