[PATCH 19/25] mm/fbatch: vm/stat_refresh include lru_add_drain() on each cpu

[Hugh Dickins]

Reading or writing /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh has long been a way for
testing to force an immediate refresh of /proc/vmstat numbers: it seems
appropriate that it should also call lru_add_drain() on each cpu that it
visits, before collecting that processor's diffs.

Add that in refresh_vm_stats(). I wanted it in refresh_cpu_vm_stats(),
which would include it in the regular (default HZ) vmstat_update() too:
which might be a wise precaution when proposing to eliminate almost all
the old calls to lru_add_drain_all(). However, that would go against its
"strives to only access node local memory" cacheline care, and bring it
into lruvec lock contention: which would probably displease its authors.
