[PATCH 1/6] mm: Add batch size for free page reporting

[Liang Li]

Use the page order as the only threshold for page reporting
is not flexible and has some flaws. Because scan a long free
list is not cheap, it's better to wake up the page reporting
worker when there are more pages, wake it up for a sigle page
may not worth.
This patch add a batch size as another threshold to control the
waking up of reporting worker.
