Summary

Currently vm_pageout_scan() uses a ticks-based scheme to rate-limit
the number of times that the vm_lowmem event will happen. However
if no events happen for long enough for ticks to roll over, this
leaves us in a long window in which vm_lowmem events will not
happen.

Replace the use of ticks with time_t to prevent rollover from ever
being an issue.
