mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention

Browse Source 
The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page()
is frequently used.  We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock
contention.  The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool
is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them.

For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64
processes, processes shared map to the file.  Each process read access the
whole file and then exit.  The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause
a lot of activate_page() call.  In such workload, we saw about 58% total
time reduction with below patch.  Other workloads with a lot of
activate_page also benefits a lot too.

Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should
follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see
commit 7a608572a282a ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock
contention")).  On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages()
to follow the same path?  I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20
scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4
sockets.  My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below
patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found
even without below patch before).  Below patch basically returns to the
same as my first post.

I tested some microbenchmarks:
  case-anon-cow-rand-mt         0.58%
  case-anon-cow-rand           -3.30%
  case-anon-cow-seq-mt         -0.51%
  case-anon-cow-seq            -5.68%
  case-anon-r-rand-mt           0.23%
  case-anon-r-rand              0.81%
  case-anon-r-seq-mt           -0.71%
  case-anon-r-seq              -1.99%
  case-anon-rx-rand-mt          2.11%
  case-anon-rx-seq-mt           3.46%
  case-anon-w-rand-mt          -0.03%
  case-anon-w-rand             -0.50%
  case-anon-w-seq-mt           -1.08%
  case-anon-w-seq              -0.12%
  case-anon-wx-rand-mt         -5.02%
  case-anon-wx-seq-mt          -1.43%
  case-fork                     1.65%
  case-fork-sleep              -0.07%
  case-fork-withmem             1.39%
  case-hugetlb                 -0.59%
  case-lru-file-mmap-read-mt   -0.54%
  case-lru-file-mmap-read       0.61%
  case-lru-file-mmap-read-rand -2.24%
  case-lru-file-readonce       -0.64%
  case-lru-file-readtwice     -11.69%
  case-lru-memcg               -1.35%
  case-mmap-pread-rand-mt       1.88%
  case-mmap-pread-rand        -15.26%
  case-mmap-pread-seq-mt        0.89%
  case-mmap-pread-seq         -69.72%
  case-mmap-xread-rand-mt       0.71%
  case-mmap-xread-seq-mt        0.38%

The most significent are:
  case-lru-file-readtwice     -11.69%
  case-mmap-pread-rand        -15.26%
  case-mmap-pread-seq         -69.72%

which use activate_page a lot.  others are basically variations because
each run has slightly difference.

In UP case, 'size mm/swap.o'
before the two patches:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6466     896       4    7366    1cc6 mm/swap.o
after the two patches:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6343     896       4    7243    1c4b mm/swap.o
