Now we have supported handling discard request which is sended by filesystem,
but no interface could be used to show information of discard.
This patch adds num_discards to stat discarded pages, then export it to sysfs
for displaying.
a side question: we account discarded pages via slot free notify in
notify_free and via req_discard in num_discards. how about accounting
both of them in num_discards? because, after all, they account a number
of discarded pages (zram_free_page()). or there any particular reason we
want to distinguish.
Yeah, I agree with you as I have no such reason unless there are our users'
explicitly requirement for showing notify_free/num_discards separately later.

How do you think of sending another patch to merge these two counts?
Minchan, what do you think? let's account discarded pages in one place.
First of all, I'd like to know why we need num_discards.
It should be in description and depends on it whether we should merge both
counts or separate.

Thanks.

One more thing is that I am missing to update document of zram, sorry about
that, let me update it in v2.
