Subject: [PATCH 19/22] Update NR_FREE_PAGES only as necessary

When pages are being freed to the buddy allocator, the zone
NR_FREE_PAGES counter must be updated. In the case of bulk per-cpu page
freeing, it's updated once per page. This retouches cache lines more
than necessary. Update the counters one per per-cpu bulk free.
