Use the page order as the only threshold for page reporting
is not flexible and has some flaws.
When the system's memory becomes very fragmented, there will be a
lot of low order free pages but very few high order pages, limit
the mini order as pageblock_order will prevent most of free pages
from being reclaimed by host for the case of page reclmain through
the virtio-balllon driver.
Scan a long free list is not cheap, it's better to wake up the
page reporting worker when there are more pages, wake it up for a
sigle page may not worth.
This patch add a batch size as another threshold to control the
waking up of reporting worker.
