On some ARCHs, such as aarch64, page size may be 64K, meantime there may
be lots of CPU cores. relay_open() needs to allocate pages on each CPU
blktrace, so easily too many pages are taken by blktrace. For example,
on one ARM64 server: 224 CPU cores, 16G RAM, blktrace finally got
allocated 7GB in case of 'blktrace -b 8192' which is used by device-mapper
test suite[1]. This way could cause OOM easily.

Fix the issue by limiting max allowed pages to be 1/8 of totalram_pages().

Should it be:
buf_size = (req_pages << PAGE_SHIFT) / buf_nr;
?
The priority of '<<' is lower than '/', right? :)
