    mm/vmscan: make sysctl_vm_force_scan_thresh 100 by default
    
    force_scan was invented for very narrow case. It hurts us badly
    when we have one cgroup that consumes almost all memory and few
    small ones.
    
    Set sysctl_vm_force_scan_thresh to 100 by default which effectively
    disables it.

    khorenko@: exact usecase: vStorage cgroup with CS's running inside
    is a big cgroup, it generates a lot of pagecache.
    Small cgroup - "system" which contains "systemd" and effectively
    swap out "systemd".
