Multi-gen LRU: fix workingset accounting
On Android app cycle workloads, MGLRU showed a significant reduction in workingset refaults although pgpgin/pswpin remained relatively unchanged. This indicated MGLRU may be undercounting workingset refaults. This has impact on userspace programs, like Android's LMKD, that monitor workingset refault statistics to detect thrashing. It was found that refaults were only accounted if the MGLRU shadow entry was for a recently evicted folio. However, recently evicted folios should be accounted as workingset activation, and refaults should be accounted regardless of recency. Fix MGLRU's workingset refault and activation accounting to more closely match that of the conventional active/inactive LRU.
