lmkd checks for vmpressure events using epoll_wait() with eventfds of

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.

We pin lmkd in memory so that we don't take page faults (and thus
requisition memory) while we're in the process of responding to a
low-memory condition. mlockall(2) is the right primitive for this
pinning. Previously, we used the MCL_FUTURE flag to mlockall: used
this way, mlockall doesn't actually pin all pages in memory, since
MCL_FUTURE affects only the default flags for future mappings and
doesn't affect mapping already in existence at the time of the
mlockall call --- like the lmkd executable itself.
This patch adds the MCL_CURRENT flag, which also pins all pages
already mapped.

By doing so different platforms can customize them accordingly.
For instance a low mem, 512MB device can do
ro.lmk.medium=400, while a device with more memory can keep
the default(800).

Point to log/log.h where necessary, define LOG_TAG where necessary.
Accept that private/android_logger.h is suitable replacement for
log/logger.h and android/log.h.
Correct liblog/README
Effectively a cleanup and controlled select revert of
'system/core: drop or replace log/logger.h' and
'system/core: Replace log/log.h with android/log.h'.

Should use android/log.h instead of log/log.h as a good example
to all others. Adjust header order to comply with Android Coding
standards.

android_get_control_socket has a warning from the implicit cast from
long to int. The warning was being hidden because cutils/sockets.h was
included with -isystem. Move android_get_control_socket to sockets.cpp,
since we don't want header only dependencies anyways, and fix the
warning with a range check and a static_cast.

This will make sure we get invoked in time,
and combined with a kernel change to increase
the window size (and thus rate-limit the
notifications) based on the amount of memory
on the device, this should provide a nice
balance between receiving too many notifications
vs getting notified too late.
