mm: fix NUMA accounting in numastat.txt
In Documentation/numastat.txt, it confused me. For example, there are nodes [0,1] in system. barrios:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo | egrep 'numa|zone' Node 0, zone DMA numa_hit 33226 numa_miss 1739 numa_foreign 27978 .. .. Node 1, zone DMA numa_hit 307 numa_miss 46900 numa_foreign 0 1) In node 0, NUMA_MISS means it wanted to allocate page in node 1 but ended up with page in node 0 2) In node 0, NUMA_FOREIGN means it wanted to allocate page in node 0 but ended up with page from Node 1. But now, numastat explains it oppositely about (MISS, FOREIGN). Let's fix up with viewpoint of zone.
