Subject: mm/vmalloc: introduce alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy to accelerate memory allocation
"mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables" will cause
significant performance regressions in some situations as Andrew
mentioned in [1]. The main situation is vmalloc, vmalloc will allocate
pages with NUMA_NO_NODE by default, that will result in alloc page one
by one;
In order to solve this, __alloc_pages_bulk and mempolicy should be
considered at the same time.
1) If node is specified in memory allocation request, it will alloc all
pages by __alloc_pages_bulk.
2) If interleaving allocate memory, it will cauculate how many pages
should be allocated in each node, and use __alloc_pages_bulk to alloc
pages in each node.
