Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/filemap: don't decrease mmap_miss when folio has workingset flag

If there are too many folios that are recently evicted in a file, then
they will probably continue to be evicted. In such situation, there is
no positive effect to read-ahead this file since it is only a waste of IO.

The mmap_miss is increased in do_sync_mmap_readahead() and decreased in
both do_async_mmap_readahead() and filemap_map_pages(). In order to skip
read-ahead in above scenario, the mmap_miss have to increased exceed
MMAP_LOTSAMISS. This can be done by stop decreased mmap_miss when folio
has workingset flag. The async path is not to care because in above
scenario, it's hard to run into the async path.
