[PATCH v3] virtio_balloon: include disk/file caches memory statistics

Tomáš Golembiovský

Add a new field VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_CACHES to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol. The value represents all disk/file caches.

In this case it corresponds to the sum of values
Buffers+Cached+SwapCached from /proc/meminfo.
