Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm, lru_gen: try to prefetch next page when canning LRU

From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>

Prefetch for inactive/active LRU have been long exiting, apply the same
optimization for MGLRU.

Tested in a 4G memcg on a EPYC 7K62 with:

  memcached -u nobody -m 16384 -s /tmp/memcached.socket \
    -a 0766 -t 16 -B binary &

  memtier_benchmark -S /tmp/memcached.socket \
    -P memcache_binary -n allkeys \
    --key-minimum=1 --key-maximum=16000000 -d 1024 \
    --ratio=1:0 --key-pattern=P:P -c 2 -t 16 --pipeline 8 -x 6

Average result of 18 test runs:

Before:           44017.78 Ops/sec
After patch 1-3:  44890.50 Ops/sec (+1.8%)
