From: Alexander Zhu <alexlzhu@xxxxxx>
This patch introduces a shrinker that will remove THPs in the lowest
utilization bucket. As previously mentioned, we have observed that
almost all of the memory waste when THPs are always enabled
is contained in the lowest utilization bucket. The shrinker will
add these THPs to a list_lru and split anonymous THPs based off
information from kswapd. It requires the changes from
thp_utilization to identify the least utilized THPs, and the
changes to split_huge_page to identify and free zero pages
within THPs.
