Linux wakes up kcompactd threads in order to make more contiguous memory available on the system, it does this by migrating live movable pages (actively modifying live processes' page tables and constantly flooding them with page invalidation IPIs, which can be up to millions per second), which causes the process to become unresponsive for up to seconds or even minutes in some severe cases. In case of sshd, we want to always be able to connect to the system, even if it's under heavy kcompactd load. Introduce an option to protect sshd and its children sessions from being compacted by kcompactd (this works in cojunction with compact_unevictable_allowed = 0). Note that we depend on MCL_ONFAULT being available, which was introduced in linux 4.4. MCL_ONFAULT allows the system to lock pages lazily, thus drastically reducing memory usage of a locked process (without MCL_ONFAULT, every existing mapping in the process is instantly write-faulted).
