mm: memcg: refactor page state unit helpers

Patch series "mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates values", v2.

While working on adjacent code [1], I realized that the values passed into
memcg_rstat_updated() to keep track of the magnitude of pending updates is
consistent.  It is mostly in pages, but sometimes it can be in bytes or
KBs.  Fix that.

Patch 1 reworks memcg_page_state_unit() so that we can reuse it in patch 2
to check and normalize the units of state updates.

This patch (of 2):

memcg_page_state_unit() is currently used to identify the unit of a memcg
state item so that all stats in memory.stat are in bytes.  However, it
lies about the units of WORKINGSET_* stats.  These stats actually
represent pages, but we present them to userspace as a scalar number of
events.  In retrospect, maybe those stats should have been memcg "events"
rather than memcg "state".

In preparation for using memcg_page_state_unit() for other purposes that
need to know the truthful units of different stat items, break it down
into two helpers:
- memcg_page_state_unit() retuns the actual unit of the item.
- memcg_page_state_output_unit() returns the unit used for output.

Use the latter instead of the former in memcg_page_state_output() and
lruvec_page_state_output().  While we are at it, let's show cgroup v1 some
love and add memcg_page_state_local_output() for consistency.

No functional change intended.
