memcg: switch lruvec stats to rstat

The commit 2d146aa ("mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat") switched memcg
stats to rstat infrastructure but skipped the conversion of the lruvec
stats as such stats are read in the performance critical code paths and
flushing stats may have impacted the performances of the applications.
This patch converts the lruvec stats to rstat and later patches add
mechanisms to keep the performance impact to minimum.

The rstat conversion comes with the price i.e.  memory cost.  Effectively
this patch reverts the savings done by the commit f3344ad ("mm:
memcontrol: optimize per-lruvec stats counter memory usage").  However
this cost is justified due to negative impact of the inaccurate lruvec
stats on many heuristics.  One such case is reported in [1].

The memory reclaim code is filled with plethora of heuristics and many of
those heuristics reads the lruvec stats.  So, inaccurate stats can make
such heuristics ineffective.  [1] reports the impact of inaccurate lruvec
stats on the "cache trim mode" heuristic.  Inaccurate lruvec stats can
impact the deactivation and aging anon heuristics as well.
