mm, swap: add sysfs interface for VMA based swap readahead
The sysfs interface to control the VMA based swap readahead is added as
follow,
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_enabled
Enable the VMA based swap readahead algorithm, or use the original
global swap readahead algorithm.
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order
Set the max order of the readahead window size for the VMA based swap
readahead algorithm.
The corresponding ABI documentation is added too.
