[PATCH v2 3/8] mm: use refresh interval to rate-limit workingset report aggregation

[Yuanchu Xie]

The refresh interval is a rate limiting factor to workingset page age
histogram reads. When a workingset report is generated, a timestamp
is noted, and the same report will be read until it expires beyond
the refresh interval, at which point a new report is generated.

Sysfs interface
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/workingset_report/refresh_interval
	time in milliseconds specifying how long the report is valid for
