mm/smaps: add Pss_Dirty
Pss is the sum of the sizes of clean and dirty private pages, and the proportional sizes of clean and dirty shared pages: Private = Private_Dirty + Private_Clean Shared_Proportional = Shared_Dirty_Proportional + Shared_Clean_Proportional Pss = Private + Shared_Proportional The Shared*Proportional fields are not present in smaps, so it is not always possible to determine how much of the Pss is from dirty pages and how much is from clean pages. This information can be useful for measuring memory usage for the purpose of optimisation, since clean pages can usually be discarded by the kernel immediately while dirty pages cannot. The smaps routines in the kernel already have access to this data, so add a Pss_Dirty to show it to userspace. Pss_Clean is not added since it can be calculated from Pss and Pss_Dirty.
