Mel Gorman 3b12e7e979 mm/page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch freed
When a task is freeing a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the
zone->lock multiple times freeing pages in batches.  This may
unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when freeing very large number of
pages.  This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent
pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent frees.

As the machines I used were not large enough to test this are not large
enough to illustrate a problem, a debugging patch shows patterns like the
following (slightly editted for clarity)

Baseline vanilla kernel
  time-unmap-14426   [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free   63 count  378 high  378
  time-unmap-14426   [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free   63 count  378 high  378
  time-unmap-14426   [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free   63 count  378 high  378
  time-unmap-14426   [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free   63 count  378 high  378
  time-unmap-14426   [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free   63 count  378 high  378

With patches
  time-unmap-7724    [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free  126 count  814 high  814
  time-unmap-7724    [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free  252 count  814 high  814
  time-unmap-7724    [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free  504 count  814 high  814

  time-unmap-7724    [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free  751 count  814 high  814
