[RFC PATCH 1/1] mm: mark folio accessed in minor fault

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

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

Inactive mapped folio will be promoted to active only when it is
scanned in shrink_inactive_list, while the vfs folio will do this
immidiatly when it is accessed. These will introduce two affections:

1. NR_ACTIVE_FILE is not accurate as expected.
2. Low reclaiming efficiency caused by dummy nactive folio which should
   be kept as earlier as shrink_active_list.

I would like to suggest mark the folio be accessed in minor fault to
solve this situation.
