[PATCH 1/7] mm: workingset: don't drop refault information prematurely

From: Johannes Weiner <jweiner@fb.com>

If we just keep enough refault information to match the CURRENT page
cache during reclaim time, we could lose a lot of events when there is
only a temporary spike in non-cache memory consumption that pushes out
all the cache. Once cache comes back, we won't see those refaults.
They might not be actionable for LRU aging, but we want to know about
them for measuring memory pressure.
