v8:
1. check if info->num_threads equals 0
v7:
1. fix a bug pointed by Minfei Huang
v6:
1. address Atsushi Kumagai's comments about calculating and reserving memory
v5:
1. remove unused variable check_out
2. reset num_threads if memory is not enough
v4:
1. fix a bug caused by the logic
v3:
1. remove some unused variables
2. fix a bug caused by the wrong logic
3. fix a bug caused by optimising
4. improve more performance by using Minoru Usui's code
multi-threads implementation will introduce extra cost when handling
each page. The origin implementation will also do the extra work for
filtered pages. So there is a big performance degradation in
--num-threads -d 31.
The new implementation won't do the extra work for filtered pages any
more. So the performance of -d 31 is close to that of serial processing.
The new implementation is just like the following:
* The basic idea is producer producing page and consumer writing page.
* Each producer have a page_flag_buf list which is used for storing
page's description.
* The size of page_flag_buf is little so it won't take too much memory.
* And all producers will share a page_data_buf array which is
used for storing page's compressed data.
* The main thread is the consumer. It will find the next pfn and write
it into file.
* The next pfn is smallest pfn in all page_flag_buf.
