mm: no more EINVAL from /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh
EINVAL was good for drawing the refresher's attention to a warning in dmesg, but became very tiresome when running test suites scripted with "set -e": an underflow from a bug in one feature would cause unrelated tests much later to fail, just because their /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh touch failed with that error. Stop doing that.
