Subject: zram: introduce an aged idle interface
This change introduces an aged idle interface to the existing idle sysfs
file for zram.
When CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled the idle file now also accepts
an integer argument. This integer is the age (in seconds) of pages to
mark as idle. The idle file still supports 'all' as it always has. This
new approach allows for much more control over which pages get marked as
idle.

From now on, any pages on zram are idle pages. The idle mark
will be removed until someone requests access of the block.
IOW, unless there is access request, those pages are still idle pages.
+Additionally, when CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled pages can be
+marked as idle based on how long (in seconds) it's been since they were
+last accessed::
+
+ echo 86400 > /sys/block/zramX/idle
+
+In this example all pages which haven't been accessed in more than 86400
+seconds (one day) will be marked idle.
Admin can request writeback of those idle pages at right timing via::
