Log:
  MFC r285282
    The intention of r254304 was to scan the active queue continuously.
    However, I've observed the active queue scan stopping when there are
    frequent free page shortages and the inactive queue is steadily refilled
    by other mechanisms, such as the sequential access heuristic in vm_fault()
    or madvise(2).  To remedy this problem, record the time of the last active
    queue scan, and always scan a number of pages proportional to the time
    since the last scan, regardless of whether that last scan was a
    timeout-triggered ("pass == 0") or free-page-shortage-triggered ("pass >
    0") scan.
  
    Also, on a timeout-triggered scan, allow a full scan of the active queue
    when the system is short of inactive pages.
