Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt: clarify vfs_cache_pressure description ...
Existing description is worded in a way which almost encourages setting of
vfs_cache_pressure above 100, possibly way above it.
Users are left in a dark what this numeric value is - an int? a
percentage? what the scale is?
As a result, we are getting reports about noticeable performance
degradation from users who have set vfs_cache_pressure to ridiculously
high values - because they thought there is no downside to it.
Via code inspection it's obvious that this value is treated as a
percentage. This patch changes text to reflect this fact, and adds a
cautionary paragraph advising against setting vfs_cache_pressure sky high.
