mm: ratelimit stat flush from workingset shrinker

commit d4a5b369ad upstream.

One of our workloads (Postgres 14 + sysbench OLTP) regressed on newer
upstream kernel and on further investigation, it seems like the cause is
the always synchronous rstat flush in the count_shadow_nodes() added by
the commit f82e6bf9bb ("mm: memcg: use rstat for non-hierarchical
stats").  On further inspection it seems like we don't really need
accurate stats in this function as it was already approximating the amount
of appropriate shadow entries to keep for maintaining the refault
information.  Since there is already 2 sec periodic rstat flush, we don't
need exact stats here.  Let's ratelimit the rstat flush in this code path.
