mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated

When a task is allocating a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire
the zone->lock multiple times allocating pages in batches.  This may
unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when allocating 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 allocations.

On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup.  This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service.  With the patch, the
cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from
12.6% to 11.0% (with PCP size == 367).
