For reliable and timely aging on memcgs, one has to read the page age histograms on time. A kernel thread makes it easier by aging memcgs with valid page_age_intervals and refresh_interval when they can be refreshed, and also reduces the latency of any userspace consumers of the page age histogram. The kernel aging thread is gated behind CONFIG_WORKINGSET_REPORT_AGING. Debugging stats may be added in the future for when aging cannot keep up with the configured refresh_interval.
