This commit introduces a new trace event, `mm_calculate_totalreserve_pages`, which reports the new reserve value at the exact time when it takes effect. The `totalreserve_pages` value represents the total amount of memory reserved across all zones and nodes in the system. This reserved memory is crucial for ensuring that critical kernel operations have access to sufficient memory, even under memory pressure. By tracing the `totalreserve_pages` value, developers can gain insights that how the total reserved memory changes over time.
