mm: remember what the preferred zone is for zone_statistics

On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and
foreign.  It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.
When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no
longer the case.

This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first
zone in the zonelist is it.  This simplifies the reading of later patches in
this set.
