Refactor the allocation such that we utilise just enough memory pressure
to invoke the shrinker, and just enough processes to spread across the
CPUs and contend on the shrinker.

v2: Reduce over-allocation from mem_size/2 to mem_size/8, and 9
processes per cpu.

For some reason I still find the calculation convoluted but okay.
