[RFC PATCH v2 2/2] mm: improve large folio reuse for LRU-cached folios

["Barry Song (Xiaomi)" <baohua@kernel.org>]

Large folios may now reside in the per-CPU LRU cache. Before
attempting to reuse them, drain the local LRU cache, which
can still be beneficial in cases where the folios are likely
to remain in this CPU's LRU cache:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int i;
    while (1) {
        volatile int *p = mmap(0, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                               MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
                               -1, 0);
        for (int i = 0; i < SIZE / sizeof(int); i++)
            p[i] = i;
        madvise((void *)p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
        if (!fork())
            _exit(0);
        for (int i = 0; i < SIZE / sizeof(int); i++)
            p[i] = i;
        munmap((void *)p, SIZE);
    }
    return 0;
}
