Hmm, I am not sure I see any benefit. We want to reclaim all those
pages why shouldn't we do it in one batch? If we use a value based on
MAX_ORDER then we make a bigger chance that force_empty fails for big
cgroups (e.g. with a lot of page cache).
Anyway, if we want to mimic the previous behavior then we should use
something like nr_nodes * SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (the above value would be
sufficient for up to 32 nodes).
