Subject: [PATCH 4.14 081/109] mm: treat indirectly reclaimable memory as available in MemAvailable

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roman Gushchin <guro@...com>

commit 034ebf65c3c21d85b963d39f992258a64a85e3a9 upstream.

Adjust /proc/meminfo MemAvailable calculation by adding the amount of
indirectly reclaimable memory (rounded to the PAGE_SIZE).
