Multi-gen LRU: fix per-zone reclaim 

MGLRU has a LRU list for each zone for each type (anon/file) in each
generation:

	long nr_pages[MAX_NR_GENS][ANON_AND_FILE][MAX_NR_ZONES];

The min_seq (oldest generation) can progress independently for each
type but the max_seq (youngest generation) is shared for both anon and
file. This is to maintain a common frame of reference.

In order for eviction to advance the min_seq of a type, all the per-zone
lists in the oldest generation of that type must be empty.

The eviction logic only considers pages from eligible zones for
eviction or promotion.

    scan_folios() {
	...
	for (zone = sc->reclaim_idx; zone >= 0; zone--)  {
	    ...
	    sort_folio(); 	// Promote
	    ...
	    isolate_folio(); 	// Evict
	}
	...
    }

Consider the system has the movable zone configured and default 4
generations. The current state of the system is as shown below
(only illustrating one type for simplicity):

Type: ANON

	Zone    DMA32     Normal    Movable    Device

	Gen 0       0          0        4GB         0

	Gen 1       0        1GB        1MB         0

	Gen 2     1MB        4GB        1MB         0

	Gen 3     1MB        1MB        1MB         0

Now consider there is a GFP_KERNEL allocation request (eligible zone
index <= Normal), evict_folios() will return without doing any work
since there are no pages to scan in the eligible zones of the oldest
generation. Reclaim won't make progress until triggered from a ZONE_MOVABLE
allocation request; which may not happen soon if there is a lot of free
memory in the movable zone. This can lead to OOM kills, although there
is 1GB pages in the Normal zone of Gen 1 that we have not yet tried to
reclaim.

This issue is not seen in the conventional active/inactive LRU since
there are no per-zone lists.

If there are no (not enough) folios to scan in the eligible zones, move
folios from ineligible zone (zone_index > reclaim_index) to the next
generation. This allows for the progression of min_seq and reclaiming
from the next generation (Gen 1).

Qualcomm, Mediatek and raspberrypi [1] discovered this issue independently.
