delayacct: track delays from thrashing cache pages

commit b1d29ba82cf2bc784f4c963ddd6a2cf29e229b33 upstream.

Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim
and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend
a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache.  This
isn't tracked right now.

To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task,
measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to
read back into memory.

Also update tools/accounting/getdelays.c:

     [hannes@computer accounting]$ sudo ./getdelays -d -p 1
     print delayacct stats ON
     PID     1
