mm, page_alloc: double zone's batchsize

To improve page allocator's performance for order-0 pages, each CPU has
a Per-CPU-Pageset(PCP) per zone.  Whenever an order-0 page is needed,
PCP will be checked first before asking pages from Buddy.  When PCP is
used up, a batch of pages will be fetched from Buddy to improve
performance and the size of batch can affect performance.

zone's batch size gets doubled last time by commit ba56e91c9401("mm:
page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages") over ten years ago.  Since
then, CPU has envolved a lot and CPU's cache sizes also increased.

Dave Hansen is concerned the current batch size doesn't fit well with
modern hardware and suggested me to do two things: first, use a page
allocator intensive benchmark, e.g.  will-it-scale/page_fault1 to find
out how performance changes with different batch sizes on various
machines and then choose a new default batch size; second, see how this
new batch size work with other workloads.

In the first test, we saw performance gains on high-core-count systems
and little to no effect on older systems with more modest core counts.
In this phase's test data, two candidates: 63 and 127 are chosen.

In the second step, ebizzy, oltp, kbuild, pigz, netperf, vm-scalability
and more will-it-scale sub-tests are tested to see how these two
candidates work with these workloads and decides a new default according
to their results.

Most test results are flat.  will-it-scale/page_fault2 process mode has
10%-18% performance increase on 4-sockets Skylake and Broadwell.
vm-scalability/lru-file-mmap-read has 17%-47% performance increase for
4-sockets servers while for 2-sockets servers, it caused 3%-8% performance
drop.  Further analysis showed that, with a larger pcp->batch and thus
larger pcp->high(the relationship of pcp->high=6 * pcp->batch is
maintained in this patch), zone lock contention shifted to LRU add side
lock contention and that caused performance drop.  This performance drop
might be mitigated by others' work on optimizing LRU lock.

Another downside of increasing pcp->batch is, when PCP is used up and need
to fetch a batch of pages from Buddy, since batch is increased, that time
can be longer than before.  My understanding is, this doesn't affect
slowpath where direct reclaim and compaction dominates.  For fastpath,
throughput is a win(according to will-it-scale/page_fault1) but worst
latency can be larger now.

Overall, I think double the batch size from 31 to 63 is relatively safe
and provide good performance boost for high-core-count systems.

The two phase's test results are listed below(all tests are done with THP
disabled).

Phase one(will-it-scale/page_fault1) test results:

Skylake-EX: increased batch size has a good effect on zone->lock
contention, though LRU contention will rise at the same time and
limited the final performance increase.

Skylake-EP: although increased batch reduced zone->lock contention, but
the effect is not as good as EX: zone->lock contention is still as high as
20% with a very high batch value instead of 1% on Skylake-EX or 5% on
Broadwell-EX.  Also, total_contention actually decreased with a higher
batch but that doesn't translate to performance increase.

Sandybridge-Desktop: the 0% contention isn't accurate but caused by
dropped fractional part. Since multiple contention path's contentions
are all under 1% here, with some arithmetic operations like add, the
final deviation could be as large as 3%.
