[PATCH v2] mm/lruvec: trace LRU add drains

[PATCH v2] mm/lruvec: trace LRU add drains

[JP Kobryn]

LRU add batches can be drained before they reach capacity. This can be a
source of LRU lock contention, but it is not currently possible to
attribute these drains to callers with existing tracepoints.

Add mm_lru_add_drain to report the CPU and lru_add batch count when an
lru_add batch is drained. This allows tracing to distinguish full drains
from partial drains and attribute them to the calling stack.
