Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/8] mm: pcp: consolidate percpu_pagelist_fraction code


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

pageset_set_high_and_batch() and percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()
both do the same calculation for establishing pcp->high:

	high = zone->managed_pages / percpu_pagelist_fraction;

pageset_set_high_and_batch() also knows when it should be
using the sysctl-provided value or the boot-time default
behavior.  There's no reason to keep
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()'s copy separate.
So, consolidate them.

The only bummer here is that pageset_set_high_and_batch() is
currently __meminit.  So, axe that and make it available at
runtime.
