Subject[PATCH resend] mm: get rid of unnecessary pageblock scanning in setup_zone_migrate_reserve
I resend this patch.
I added performance result into description of the patch.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Yasuaki Ishimatsu reported memory hot-add spent more than 5 _hours_
on 9TB memory machine since onlining memory sections is too slow.
And we found out setup_zone_migrate_reserve spnet >90% time.

The problem is, setup_zone_migrate_reserve scan all pageblock
unconditionally, but it is only necessary number of reserved block
was reduced (i.e. memory hot remove).
Moreover, maximum MIGRATE_RESERVE per zone are currently 2. It mean,
number of reserved pageblock are almost always unchanged.

This patch adds zone->nr_migrate_reserve_block to maintain number
of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock and it reduce an overhead of
setup_zone_migrate_reserve dramatically. Following table shows
time of onlining a memory section.

Amount of memory | 128GB | 192GB | 256GB|
---------------------------------------------
linux-3.12 | 23.9 | 31.4 | 44.5 |
This patch | 8.3 | 8.3 | 8.6 |
Mel's proposal patch | 10.9 | 19.2 | 31.3 |
---------------------------------------------
(millisecond)

128GB : 4 nodes and each node has 32GB of memory
192GB : 6 nodes and each node has 32GB of memory
256GB : 8 nodes and each node has 32GB of memory

(*1) Mel proposed his idea by the following threads.
