change.

The current page_order() can only be called on pages in the buddy
allocator. For compound pages, you have to use compound_order(). This is
confusing and led to a bug, so rename page_order() to buddy_order().

list_for_each_entry_safe() guarantees that we will never stumble over the
list head; "&page->lru != list" will always evaluate to true. Let's
simplify.

In order to keep ourselves from reporting pages that are just going to be
reused again in the case of heavy churn we can put a limit on how many
total pages we will process per pass. Doing this will allow the worker
thread to go into idle much more quickly so that we avoid competing with
other threads that might be allocating or freeing pages.
The logic added here will limit the worker thread to no more than one
sixteenth of the total free pages in a given area per list. Once that
limit is reached it will update the state so that at the end of the pass
we will reschedule the worker to try again in 2 seconds when the memory
churn has hopefully settled down.
Again this optimization doesn't show much of a benefit in the standard
case as the memory churn is minmal. However with page allocator shuffling
enabled the gain is quite noticeable. Below are the results with a THP
enabled version of the will-it-scale page_fault1 test showing the
improvement in iterations for 16 processes or threads.

Rather than walking over the same pages again and again to get to the
pages that have yet to be reported we can save ourselves a significant
amount of time by simply rotating the list so that when we have a full
list of reported pages the head of the list is pointing to the next
non-reported page. Doing this should save us some significant time when
processing each free list.
This doesn't gain us much in the standard case as all of the non-reported
pages should be near the top of the list already. However in the case of
page shuffling this results in a noticeable improvement. Below are the
will-it-scale page_fault1 w/ THP numbers for 16 tasks with and without
this patch.

In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.
To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.
The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.
When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.
It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.
The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.
