So this ends up being the reason why you needed to add the batch size
value. However I don't really see it working as expected since you
could essentially have 1 page freed 4M times that could trigger your
page zeroing logic. So for example if a NIC is processing frames and
ends up freeing and then reallocating some small batch of pages this
could would be running often even though there isn't really all that
many pages that needed zeroing.

With the page order being able to be greatly reduced this could have a
significant impact on if this code really has any value. Previously we
were able to guarantee a pretty significant number of higher order
pages free. With this we might only be guaranteeing something like 32
4K pages which is pretty small compared to what can end up being
pulled out at the higher end.

If we are going to use this we are using it. Once we NULL out the
prdev that should stop page reporting from running. We shouldn't be
relying on the static key.

This is another case where it might make sense to look at placing the
code in __page_reporting_notify if we are going to allow this to be a
dynamically configurable value.
