H A Dtree.cd0bfa8b3 Thu Apr 15 12:19:56 CDT 2021 Zhang Qiang <qiang.zhang@windriver.com> kvfree_rcu: Release a page cache under memory pressure

Add a drain_page_cache() function to drain a per-cpu page cache.
The reason behind of it is a system can run into a low memory
condition, in that case a page shrinker can ask for its users
to free their caches in order to get extra memory available for
other needs in a system.

When a system hits such condition, a page cache is drained for
all CPUs in a system. By default a page cache work is delayed
with 5 seconds interval until a memory pressure disappears, if
needed it can be changed. See a rcu_delay_page_cache_fill_msec
module parameter.
