mm: vmscan: restore incremental cgroup iteration

Browse Source 
Currently, reclaim always walks the entire cgroup tree in order to ensure
fairness between groups.  While overreclaim is limited in shrink_lruvec(),
many of our systems have a sizable number of active groups, and an even
bigger number of idle cgroups with cache left behind by previous jobs; the
mere act of walking all these cgroups can impose significant latency on
direct reclaimers.

In the past, we've used a save-and-restore iterator that enabled
incremental tree walks over multiple reclaim invocations.  This ensured
fairness, while keeping the work of individual reclaimers small.

However, in edge cases with a lot of reclaim concurrency, individual
reclaimers would sometimes not see enough of the cgroup tree to make
forward progress and (prematurely) declare OOM.  Consequently we switched
to comprehensive walks in 1ba6fc9af3 ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup
iteration between reclaimers").

To address the latency problem without bringing back the premature OOM
issue, reinstate the shared iteration, but with a restart condition to do
the full walk in the OOM case - similar to what we do for memory.low
enforcement and active page protection.

In the worst case, we do one more full tree walk before declaring
OOM. But the vast majority of direct reclaim scans can then finish
much quicker, while fairness across the tree is maintained:

- Before this patch, we observed that direct reclaim always takes more
  than 100us and most direct reclaim time is spent in reclaim cycles
  lasting between 1ms and 1 second. Almost 40% of direct reclaim time
  was spent on reclaim cycles exceeding 100ms.

- With this patch, almost all page reclaim cycles last less than 10ms,
  and a good amount of direct page reclaim finishes in under 100us. No
  page reclaim cycles lasting over 100ms were observed anymore.

The shared iterator state is maintaned inside the target cgroup, so
fair and incremental walks are performed during both global reclaim
and cgroup limit reclaim of complex subtrees.
