mm: readahead: improve mmap_miss heuristic for concurrent faults
If two or more threads of an application faulting on the same folio, the
mmap_miss counter can be decreased multiple times. It breaks the
mmap_miss heuristic and keeps the readahead enabled even under extreme
levels of memory pressure.
It happens often if file folios backing a multi-threaded application are
getting evicted and re-faulted.
Fix it by skipping decreasing mmap_miss if the folio is locked.
This change was evaluated on several hundred thousands hosts in Google's
production over a couple of weeks. The number of containers being stuck
in a vicious reclaim cycle for a long time was reduced several fold
(~10-20x), as well as the overall fleet-wide cpu time spent in direct
memory reclaim was meaningfully reduced. No regressions were observed.
