[RFC PATCH] mm: set cache_trim_mode when inactive ratio is undesired

["zhaoyang.huang" <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>]

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>

Undesirable inactive file ratio could be observed under some scenarios(such as
large number of mapped file access) and hardly recover during a certain period
of time, which could be a result of tight criteria judgement of cache_trim_mode,
which demand both of none-thrashing and inactive_is_low simutaneously and lead
to the mode as SCAN_FRAC or SCAN_EQUAL when scanning lru.
