Reduce the rate at which nfsd threads hammer on the page allocator.
This improves throughput scalability by enabling the threads to run
more independently of each other.

Hi Mel-
This patch replaces patch 5/7 in v4 of your alloc_pages_bulk()
series. It implements code clean-ups suggested by Alexander Duyck.
It builds and has seen some light testing.

The updated patch looks good to me. I am good with having my
Reviewed-by added for patches 1-6. I think the only one that still
needs work is patch 7.
