mm, page_alloc: do not report all nodes in show_mem
Patch series "show_mem updates", v2. This is a mixture of one bug fix (patch 1), an enhancement (patch 2) and cleanups (the rest of the series). First two patches should be really straightforward. Patch 3 removes some arch specific show_mem implementations because I think they are quite outdated and do not really serve any useful purpose anymore. I think we should really strive to have a consistent show_mem output regardless of the architecture. If some architecture is really special and wants to dump something additional we should do that via an arch specific hook. The last patch adds nodemask parameter so that we do not rely on the hardcoded mems_allowed of the current task when doing the node filtering. I consider this more a cleanup than a fix because basically all users use a nodemask which is a subset of mems_allowed. There is only one call path in the memory hotplug which doesn't comply with this but that is hardly something to worry about. This patch (of 4): Commit 599d0c954f91 ("mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node") has added per numa node statistics to show_mem but it forgot to add skip_free_areas_node to filter out nodes which are outside of the allocating task numa policy. Add this check to not pollute the output with the pointless information.
