Oww... Not good to do that in the scheduler. Ok new patch follows that
does the call from tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick. Hopefully that is the right
location to call quiet_vmstat().

Preemption is disabled when quiet_vmstat() is called.
Subject: Fix vmstat: make vmstat_updater deferrable again and shut down on idle V2
V1->V2
- Call vmstat_quiet from tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() instead.
Currently the vmstat updater is not deferrable as a result of commit
ba4877b9ca51f80b5d30f304a46762f0509e1635. This in turn can cause multiple
interruptions of the applications because the vmstat updater may run at
different times than tick processing. No good.
Make vmstate_update deferrable again and provide a function that
shuts down the vmstat updater when we go idle by folding the differentials.
Shut it down from the load average calculation logic introduced by nohz.
Note that the shepherd thread will continue scanning the differentials
from another processor and will reenable the vmstat workers if it
detects any changes.
Fixes: ba4877b9ca51f80b5d30f304a46762f0509e1635 (do not use deferrable delay)
