mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mapping

We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management
on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory
efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS.

On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really
hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss
+ wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android).

This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get
more exact workingset size per process.

Bongkyu tested it. Result is below.

1. 50M used swap
SwapTotal: 461976 kB
SwapFree: 411192 kB

$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';
48236
$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';
141184

2. 240M used swap
SwapTotal: 461976 kB
SwapFree: 216808 kB

$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';
230315
$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';

+The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has

+So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one other
+process, its PSS will be 1500.

 "Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file.  Even
 a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE
 and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
 "Swap" shows how much would-be-anonymous memory is also used, but out on
 swap.
