(cherry picked from commit d273b6630d)
Current mechanism of getting system memory state by using sysinfo()
is not enough because it does not provide information about file cache
size which is needed to correctly assess memory state. Switch to using
data from /proc/meminfo that includes information provided by sysinfo()
and file cache size in addition to that.

New ro.lmk.kill_timeout_ms property defines timeout in ms after a
successful kill cycle for more kills to be considered. This is
necessary because memory pressure after a kill does not go down
instantly and system needs time to reflect new memory state. This
timeout prevents extra kills in the period immediately after a
kill cycle. By default it is set to 0 which disables this feature.

Record free memory at low vmpressure levels and whenever pressure
increases beyond low free up enough memory to downgrade memory pressure
to low. This is done by freeing enough memory to get to the max free
memory levels seen during low vmpressure.
The kill logic for Go devices is not changed as these devices are designed
to operate under high memory pressure.

lmkd checks for vmpressure events using epoll_wait() with eventfds of
all registered events. It's possible that multiple events of different
priorities happen before epoll_wait() returns. For these cases we
use conservative approach by assuming that the system is under the
highest registered vmpressure levels. This speeds up lmkd response time
to high memory pressure by not responding to possibly stale low pressure
levels when vmpressure rises quickly.
