Johannes Weiner fafaeceb89 mm: switch deferred split shrinker to list_lru
The deferred split queue handles cgroups in a suboptimal fashion.  The
queue is per-NUMA node or per-cgroup, not the intersection.  That means on
a cgrouped system, a node-restricted allocation entering reclaim can end
up splitting large pages on other nodes:

        alloc/unmap
          deferred_split_folio()
            list_add_tail(memcg->split_queue)
            set_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id)

        for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask(restricted_nodes)
          mem_cgroup_iter()
            shrink_slab(node, memcg)
              shrink_slab_memcg(node, memcg)
                if test_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id)
                  deferred_split_scan()
                    walks memcg->split_queue

The shrinker bit adds an imperfect guard rail.  As soon as the cgroup has
a single large page on the node of interest, all large pages owned by that
memcg, including those on other nodes, will be split.

list_lru properly sets up per-node, per-cgroup lists.  As a bonus, it
streamlines a lot of the list operations and reclaim walks.  It's used
widely by other major shrinkers already.  Convert the deferred split queue
as well.

The list_lru per-memcg heads are instantiated on demand when the first
object of interest is allocated for a cgroup, by calling
folio_memcg_alloc_deferred().  Add calls to where splittable pages are
created: anon faults, swapin faults, khugepaged collapse.

These calls create all possible node heads for the cgroup at once, so the
migration code (between nodes) doesn't need any special care.
