From: Hui Zhu <[email protected]>

BPF programs can observe memory pressure on a cgroup, e.g. refault
stats via bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state(), but cannot act on it:
triggering reclaim requires writing to memory.reclaim, which BPF
cannot do.

Add bpf_proactive_reclaim(), a sleepable kfunc performing one
proactive reclaim pass on a memcg, like a write to memory.reclaim
but without retrying until the target is reached, so that when and
how hard to reclaim is BPF policy rather than hard-coded thresholds.
The reclaim target of a single call is capped at MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH,
as high_work_func() does for memory.high; reclaiming more is left to
the program, which can call the kfunc once per bpf_wq callback and
stop at any point. It is limited to BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, because
other sleepable programs may run with filesystem locks held, on
which the reclaim path could deadlock via filesystem shrinkers.

Convert MIN_SWAPPINESS, MAX_SWAPPINESS and SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY from
macros to an enum so that they are emitted into BTF and usable from
BPF programs via vmlinux.h.
