ZEN: INTERACTIVE: Tune mgLRU to protect cache used in the last second

Although not identical to the le9 patches that protect a byte-amount of cache through tunables, multigenerational LRU now supports protecting cache accessed in the last X milliseconds. In torvalds#218, Yu recommends starting with 1000ms and tuning as needed. This looks like a safe default and turning on this feature should help users that don't know they need it.
