Mel Gorman 74f4482209 mm/page_alloc: introduce vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction
This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction.  It is
similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction.  The old sysctl increased
both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially
reducing zone->lock contention.  However, the higher pcp->batch value also
potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled.  This
sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially
reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same.

  # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
              high:  649
              batch: 63

  # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8
  # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
              high:  35071
              batch: 63

  # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=64
              high:  4383
              batch: 63

  # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=0
              high:  649
              batch: 63
