[ Upstream commit e38b3f20059426a0adbde014ff71071739ab5226 ]
alloc_pages_bulk_array() attempts to allocate at least one page based on
the provided pages, and then opportunistically allocates more if that
can be done without dropping the spinlock.
So if it returns fewer than requested, that could just mean that it
needed to drop the lock. In that case, try again immediately.
Only pause for a time if no progress could be made.
