[PATCH v4] kvfree_rcu: Release page cache under memory pressure

[qiang.zhang@windriver.com]

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@windriver.com>

Add free per-cpu existing krcp's page cache operation, when
the system is under memory pressure.

 v1->v2->v3->v4:
 During the test a page shrinker is pretty active, because of low memory
 condition. callback drains it whereas kvfree_rcu() part refill it right
 away making kind of vicious circle.
 Through Vlad Rezki suggestion, to avoid this, schedule a periodic delayed
 work with HZ, and it's easy to do that.
