the vmpressure window size was recently fixed at 512 pages regardless
of machine size, this patch makes it scale based on the machine memory
and CPU count.

* As the vmscan reclaimer logic works with chunks which are multiple of

- * TODO: Make the window size depend on machine size, as we do for vmstat
- * thresholds. Currently we set it to 512 pages (2MB for 4KB pages).
+ * Window size is now scaled based on RAM and CPU size, similarly to how
