mm: workingset: update shadow limit to reflect bigger active list

Browse Source 
Since commit 59dc76b0d4 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file
list") the size of the active file list is no longer limited to half of
memory.  Increase the shadow node limit accordingly to avoid throwing
out shadow entries that might still result in eligible refaults.

The exact size of the active list now depends on the overall size of the
page cache, but converges toward taking up most of the space:

In mm/vmscan.c::inactive_list_is_low(),

 * total     target    max
 * memory    ratio     inactive
 * -------------------------------------
 *   10MB       1         5MB
 *  100MB       1        50MB
 *    1GB       3       250MB
 *   10GB      10       0.9GB
 *  100GB      31         3GB
 *    1TB     101        10GB
 *   10TB     320        32GB

It would be possible to apply the same precise ratios when determining
the limit for radix tree nodes containing shadow entries, but since it
is merely an approximation of the oldest refault distances in the wild
and the code also makes assumptions about the node population density,
keep it simple and always target the full cache size.

While at it, clarify the comment and the formula for memory footprint.

* Approximate a reasonable limit for the radix tree nodes

* since refault distances bigger than that are dismissed.
*
* The size of the active list converges toward 100% of

*
* Nodes might be sparsely populated, with only one shadow
* entry in the extreme case. Obviously, we cannot keep one
* node for every eligible shadow entry, so compromise on a
* worst-case density of 1/8th. Below that, not all eligible
* refaults can be detected anymore.
*
* On 64-bit with 7 radix_tree_nodes per page and 64 slots
* each, this will reclaim shadow entries when they consume
* ~2% of available memory:
* ~1.8% of available memory:
*
* PAGE_SIZE / radix_tree_nodes / node_entries / PAGE_SIZE
