This comment is wrong, sorry. I'll just drop it.

I initially had a lru_gen_do_aging() here to verify that everything
was tracked in the lru_gen debugfs, but everything is already tracked
anyway. Doing an aging pass here means that the "control" write after
this is writing to idle memory, so it ceases to be a control.
