[PATCH 2/2] rcu/kvfree: Introduce KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES_[MAX/MIN] interval

["Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>]

Currently the monitor work is scheduled with a fixed interval that
is HZ/20 or each 50 milliseconds. The drawback of such approach is
a low utilization of page slot in some scenarios. The page can store
up to 512 records. For example on Android system it can look like:

<snip>

where a page only carries few records to reclaim a memory. In order to
improve batching and make utilization more efficient the patch introduces
a drain interval that can be set either to KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES_MAX or
KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES_MIN. It is adjusted if a flood is detected, in this
case a memory reclaim occurs more often whereas in mostly idle cases the
interval is set to its maximum timeout that improves the utilization of
page slots.
