[PATCH] CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTER comment decrustify 

The VM event counters, enabled by CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS, which provides
VM event counters in /proc/vmstat, has become more essential to
non-EMBEDDED kernel configurations than they were in the past.  Comments in
the code and the Kconfig configuration explanation were stale, downplaying
their role excessively.

Refresh those comments to correctly reflect the current role of VM event
counters.

* Counters are handled completely inline. On many platforms the code

VM event counters are only needed to for event counts to be
shown. They have no function for the kernel itself. This
option allows the disabling of the VM event counters.
/proc/vmstat will only show page counts.

This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters
on EMBEDDED systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts
