Usama Arif ea928e9e18 mm/vmpressure: move v1 userspace eventfd code into memcontrol-v1.c
Clean up mm/vmpressure.c by separating the cgroup v1 userspace eventfd
interface from the shared and v2 in-kernel code.

Currently, almost half of mm/vmpressure.c exists to serve tree=true:
struct vmpressure_event, the events list and its mutex, the work_struct
and vmpressure_work_fn that drains tree_scanned/tree_reclaimed, the parent
walk, vmpressure_event(), vmpressure_register_event(),
vmpressure_unregister_event(), and vmpressure_prio() (which always calls
vmpressure() with tree=true).

Move it all into mm/memcontrol-v1.c (built only when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=y) as
a single contiguous block, following the per-component layout already used
by that file.  Keeping the v1 vmpressure code with the rest of the
deprecated cgroup v1 memory controller makes the full footprint of the
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 option easy to see in one place, which matters more than
component-level file separation for code that has no active development.

vmpressure.c keeps the shared bits (constants, vmpressure_calc_level, the
runtime hierarchy check, the tree=false body, init/cleanup plumbing) and
calls into three small v1 hooks for the tree=true accumulator and the v1
portions of init/cleanup.  The hooks have static-inline no-op stubs in
include/linux/vmpressure.h for the !MEMCG_V1 case, so callers don't need
ifdefs.  vmpressure_prio() gets the same treatment, which means vmscan.c's
call site disappears at compile time on v2-only kernels.

The only #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 in source remains around the v1-only
fields inside struct vmpressure itself.

Memory savings on CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=n (measured with pahole):

  struct vmpressure :  112B ->   24B
  struct mem_cgroup : 1664B -> 1536B

This split is the first step toward eventually making vmpressure
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 only.  The v2 in-kernel socket pressure path (tree=false)
cannot be removed today immediately: PSI is not an exact replacement for
vmpressure, and switching networking socket-buffer back-off to PSI may
regress networking performance or increase memory pressure in workloads
that today rely on vmpressure's hysteresis.  The medium-term plan is to
introduce a PSI-based socket-pressure path, keep vmpressure available for
v2 behind a defconfig as an opt-out for several releases, and only then
drop the tree=false path entirely, at which point everything that remains
of the vmpressure block in mm/memcontrol-v1.c is the whole subsystem.
