s390/pgtable: add mapping statistics

Browse source 
Add statistics that show how memory is mapped within the kernel
identity mapping. This is more or less the same like git
commit ce0c0e50f9 ("x86, generic: CPA add statistics about state
of direct mapping v4") for x86.

I also intentionally copied the lower case "k" within DirectMap4k vs
the upper case "M" and "G" within the two other lines. Let's have
consistent inconsistencies across architectures.

The output of /proc/meminfo now contains these additional lines:

DirectMap4k:        2048 kB
DirectMap1M:     3991552 kB
DirectMap2G:     4194304 kB

The implementation on s390 is lockless unlike the x86 version, since I
assume changes to the kernel mapping are a very rare event. Therefore
it really doesn't matter if these statistics could potentially be
inconsistent if read while kernel pages tables are being changed.
