BACKPORT: mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch

Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
  0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
  0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
          true
  0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
          CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
  [yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
  echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  0x0007
  echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
  0x0005

NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory
pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern,
compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion.  So far the
only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due
to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few
hundred MBs.  The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own
assessments [2][3].  However, if walking page tables does worsen the
mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it.  In this
case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as
shown previously.

Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled,
since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and
AMD.
