Subject[RFC 34/43] shmem: PKRAM: multithread preserving and restoring shmem pages
Date
Improve performance by multithreading the work to preserve and restore
shmem pages.

Add 'pkram_max_threads=' kernel option to specify the maximum number
of threads to use to preserve or restore the pages of a shmem file.
The default is 16.

When preserving pages each thread saves chunks of a file to a pkram_obj
until no more no more chunks are available.

When restoring pages each thread loads pages using a copy of a
pkram_stream initialized by pkram_prepare_load_obj(). Under the hood
each thread ends up fetching and operating on pkram_link pages.
