mm: memcg: use larger batches for proactive reclaim

Browse Source 
Before 388536ac291 ("mm:vmscan: fix inaccurate reclaim during proactive
reclaim") we passed the number of pages for the reclaim request directly
to try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages, which could lead to significant
overreclaim.  After 0388536ac2 the number of pages was limited to a
maximum 32 (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) to reduce the amount of overreclaim. 
However such a small batch size caused a regression in reclaim performance
due to many more reclaim start/stop cycles inside memory_reclaim.  The
restart cost is amortized over more pages with larger batch sizes, and
becomes a significant component of the runtime if the batch size is too
small.

Reclaim tries to balance nr_to_reclaim fidelity with fairness across nodes
and cgroups over which the pages are spread.  As such, the bigger the
request, the bigger the absolute overreclaim error.  Historic in-kernel
users of reclaim have used fixed, small sized requests to approach an
appropriate reclaim rate over time.  When we reclaim a user request of
arbitrary size, use decaying batch sizes to manage error while maintaining
reasonable throughput.
