mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap

Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space).  For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.

This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. 
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs.  On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.
