Subject: page allocator: update NR_FREE_PAGES only as necessary
From: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx>
When pages are being freed to the buddy allocator, the zone NR_FREE_PAGES
counter must be updated. In the case of bulk per-cpu page freeing, it's
updated once per page. This retouches cache lines more than necessary.
Update the counters one per per-cpu bulk free.
