Exclude active GPU pages from the purview of the background shrinker (kswapd), as these cause uncontrollable GPU stalls. Given that the shrinker is rerun until the freelists are satisfied, we should have opportunity in subsequent passes to recover the pages once idle. If the machine does run out of memory entirely, we have the forced idling in the oom-notifier as a means of releasing all the pages we can before an oom is prematurely executed. Note that this relies upon an up-front retire_requests to keep the inactive list in shape, which was added in a previous patch, mostly as execlist ctx pinning band-aids.
