mm, page_alloc: clean up pageset high and batch update

Patch series "disable pcplists during memory offline", v3.

As per the discussions [1] [2] this is an attempt to implement David's
suggestion that page isolation should disable pcplists to avoid races with
page freeing in progress.  This is done without extra checks in fast
paths, as explained in Patch 9.  The repeated draining done by [2] is then
no longer needed.  Previous version (RFC) is at [3].

The RFC tried to hide pcplists disabling/enabling into page isolation, but
it wasn't completely possible, as memory offline does not unisolation.
Michal suggested an explicit API in [4] so that's the current
implementation and it seems indeed nicer.

Once we accept that page isolation users need to do explicit actions
around it depending on the needed guarantees, we can also IMHO accept that
the current pcplist draining can be also done by the callers, which is
more effective.  After all, there are only two users of page isolation.
So patch 6 does effectively the same thing as Pavel proposed in [5], and
patch 7 implement stronger guarantees only for memory offline.  If CMA
decides to opt-in to the stronger guarantee, it can be added later.

Patches 1-5 are preparatory cleanups for pcplist disabling.

Patchset was briefly tested in QEMU so that memory online/offline works,
but I haven't done a stress test that would prove the race fixed by [2] is
eliminated.

Note that patch 7 could be avoided if we instead adjusted page freeing in
shown in [6], but I believe the current implementation of disabling
pcplists is not too much complex, so I would prefer this instead of adding
new checks and longer irq-disabled section into page freeing hotpaths.

This patch (of 7):

The updates to pcplists' high and batch values are handled by multiple
functions that make the calculations hard to follow.  Consolidate
everything to pageset_set_high_and_batch() and remove pageset_set_batch()
and pageset_set_high() wrappers.

The only special case using one of the removed wrappers was:
build_all_zonelists_init()

  setup_pageset()
    pageset_set_batch()

which was hardcoding batch as 0, so we can just open-code a call to
pageset_update() with constant parameters instead.

No functional change.
