mm/vmstat.c: cache align vm_stat

Browse Source 
commit a1cb2c60dd upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked on Bugzilla. This patch is known to make a big
        difference to tmpfs performance on larger machines.

This was found to adversely affect tmpfs I/O performance.

Tests run on a 640 cpu UV system.

With 120 threads doing parallel writes, each to different tmpfs mounts:
No patch:		~300 MB/sec
With vm_stat alignment:	~430 MB/sec
