[RFC 6/8] Account for pages in the page cache in terms of base pages

From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>

Variable Order Page Cache: Account for higher order pages

NR_FILE_PAGES now counts pages of different order. Maybe we need to
account in base page sized pages? If so then we need to change
the way we update the counters. Note that the same would have to be
done for other counters.
