mm: allow swappiness that prefers reclaiming anon over the file workingset
With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem caches. Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.
