Michal Hocko 9d998b4f1e mm, vmscan: add active list aging tracepoint
Our reclaim process has several tracepoints to tell us more about how
things are progressing.  We are, however, missing a tracepoint to track
active list aging.  Introduce mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_active which reports
the number of

	- nr_taken is number of isolated pages from the active list
	- nr_referenced pages which tells us that we are hitting referenced
	  pages which are deactivated. If this is a large part of the
	  reported nr_deactivated pages then we might be hitting into
	  the active list too early because they might be still part of
	  the working set. This might help to debug performance issues.
	- nr_active pages which tells us how many pages are kept on the
	  active list - mostly exec file backed pages. A high number can
	  indicate that we might be trashing on executables.
