[PATCH] Fix up per-cpu page batch sizes 

The code to clamp batch sizes to 2^n - 1 went missing and an extra
check got added, which must have been a hunk of the "higer order pcp
batch refills" work sneaking in.

* We will be trying to allcoate bigger chunks of contiguous
* memory of the order of fls(batch). This should result in
* better cache coloring.
* Clamp the batch to a 2^n - 1 value. Having a power
* of 2 value was found to be more likely to have
* suboptimal cache aliasing properties in some cases.
*
* A sanity check also to ensure that batch is still in limits.
* For example if 2 tasks are alternately allocating
* batches of pages, one task can end up with a lot
* of pages of one half of the possible page colors
* and the other with pages of the other colors.
