mm/memtest: add results of early memtest to /proc/meminfo
Currently the memtest results were only presented in dmesg.
When running a large fleet of devices without ECC RAM it's currently not
easy to do bulk monitoring for memory corruption. You have to parse
dmesg, but that's a ring buffer so the error might disappear after some
time. In general I do not consider dmesg to be a great API to query RAM
status.
In several companies I've seen such errors remain undetected and cause
issues for way too long. So I think it makes sense to provide a
monitoring API, so that we can safely detect and act upon them.
This adds /proc/meminfo entry which can be easily used by scripts.
