mm/vmscan: wake up flushers conditionally to avoid cgroup OOM

Browse Source 
Commit 14aa8b2d5c ("mm/mglru: don't sync disk for each aging cycle")
removed the opportunity to wake up flushers during the MGLRU page
reclamation process can lead to an increased likelihood of triggering OOM
when encountering many dirty pages during reclamation on MGLRU.

This leads to premature OOM if there are too many dirty pages in cgroup:

The flusher wake up was removed to decrease SSD wearing, but if we are
seeing all dirty folios at the tail of an LRU, not waking up the flusher
could lead to thrashing easily.  So wake it up when a memcg is about to
OOM due to dirty caches.

I did run the build kernel test[1] on V6, with -j16 1G memcg on my local
branch:

Test results show that this patch has about 1% performance improvement,
which should be caused by noise.
