4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[fixed differently upstream, this is a work-around to resolve it for 4.14.y]
Yongqin reported that /proc/zoneinfo format is broken in 4.14 due to commit 7aaf77272358 ("mm: don't show nr_indirectly_reclaimable in /proc/vmstat")
Node 0, zone DMA per-node stats nr_inactive_anon 403 nr_active_anon 89123 nr_inactive_file 128887 nr_active_file 47377 nr_unevictable 2053 nr_slab_reclaimable 7510 nr_slab_unreclaimable 10775 nr_isolated_anon 0 nr_isolated_file 0 <...> nr_vmscan_write 0 nr_vmscan_immediate_reclaim 0 nr_dirtied 6022 nr_written 5985 74240 ^^^^^^^^^^ pages free 131656
The problem is caused by the nr_indirectly_reclaimable counter, which is hidden from the /proc/vmstat, but not from the /proc/zoneinfo. Let's fix this inconsistency and hide the counter from /proc/zoneinfo exactly as from /proc/vmstat.
BTW, in 4.19+ the counter has been renamed and exported by the commit b29940c1abd7 ("mm: rename and change semantics of nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes"), so there is no such a problem anymore.
