Re: [PATCH v2 2/4] relayfs: introduce dump of relayfs statistics function

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

In this version, only support dumping the counter for buffer full and
implement the framework of how it works.

Users can pass certain flag to fetch what field/statistics they expect
to know. Each time it only returns one result. So do not pass multiple
flags.

v2
1. refactor relay_dump() and make it only return a pure size_t result
of the value that users specifies.
2. revise the commit log.
