Use the global variable num_events to record the number of vmpressure
events registered by the system, and wake up work only when there is
registration event.
Usually, the vmpressure event is not registered in the system, this patch
can avoid waking up work and doing nothing.
Test with 5.14.0-rc5-next-20210813 on x86_64 4G ram.
Consume cgroup memory until it is about to be reclaimed, then execute
"perf stat -I 2000 malloc.out" command to trigger memory reclamation
and get performance results.
The context-switches is reduced by about 20 times.
