Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) 51824b780b rcu/kvfree: Update KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES interval
Currently the monitor work is scheduled with a fixed interval of HZ/20,
which is roughly 50 milliseconds. The drawback of this approach is
low utilization of the 512 page slots in scenarios with infrequence
kvfree_rcu() calls.  For example on an Android system:

<snip>

In many cases, out of 512 slots, fewer than 10 were actually used.
In order to improve batching and make utilization more efficient this
commit sets a drain interval to a fixed 5-seconds interval. Floods are
detected when a page fills quickly, and in that case, the reclaim work
is re-scheduled for the next scheduling-clock tick (jiffy).

After this change:

<snip>

Here, all but one of the cases, more than one hundreds slots were used,
representing an order-of-magnitude improvement.
