The way we used to deal with this when we did per-process
virtual scanning (before rmap), was to scan the process at
the head of the list.
After we were done with that process, it got moved to the
back of the list. If enough had been scanned, we bailed
out of the scanning code alltogether; if more needed to
be scanned, we moved on to the next process.
Doing a list move after scanning a bunch of pages in the
LRU lists of a cgroup isn't nearly as expensive as having
to scan all the cgroups.
