The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis. This is a piece of useful
information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa
nodes.

One of the usecase is evaluating application performance by combining this
information w/ the cpu allocation to the application.

The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of numa_maps
like:

total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...

And we have per-node:
total = file + anon + unevictable

$ cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat
total=250020 N0=87620 N1=52367 N2=45298 N3=64735
file=225232 N0=83402 N1=46160 N2=40522 N3=55148
anon=21053 N0=3424 N1=6207 N2=4776 N3=6646
unevictable=3735 N0=794 N1=0 N2=0 N3=2941
Does it make sense to add all this code for non-NUMA kernels? 

The patch adds a kilobyte of pretty useless text to uniprocessor kernels.
