[PATCH v1 4/7] mm: report workingset during memory pressure driven scanning

[Yuanchu Xie]

When a node reaches its low watermarks and wakes up kswapd, notify all
userspace programs waiting on the workingset page age histogram of the
memory pressure, so a userspace agent can read the workingset report in
time and make policy decisions, such as logging, oom-killing, or
migration.

Sysfs interface:
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/workingset_report/report_threshold
	time in milliseconds that specifies how often the userspace
	agent can be notified for node memory pressure.
