For reliable and timely aging on memcgs, one has to read the page age
histograms on time. A kernel thread makes it easier by aging memcgs with
valid refresh_interval when they can be refreshed, and also reduces the
latency of any userspace consumers of the page age histogram.
The kerne aging thread is gated behind CONFIG_WORKINGSET_REPORT_AGING.
Debugging stats may be added in the future for when aging cannot
keep up with the configured refresh_interval.
