[DEBUG] Add a few scheduler event counters

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

[DEBUG] Some additional VM counters

Add a few counters to be able to see how the softirq affects the
scheduler. This patch should not go into mainline and maybe also
not into mm.

New counters in /proc/vmstat

sched_tick_balance	Ticks that required invokation of the softirq
sched_tick_no_balance	Ticks that did not require the softirq
sched_load_balance	# invocations of load_balance().
sched_balance_softirq	# of softirq executions
sched_balance_running	# of times that serialization prevented
			load balancing of a sched_domain.
