Just noticed that the commit f5715584af95 make validate_mm() two implementation
based on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPPLE_TREE). I have
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM but not CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPPLE_TREE defined. So it's not an
apple to apple.


I disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and re-run the test and got:
Before preallocation change (7be1c1a3c7b1):
    770100
After preallocation change (28c5609fb236):
    680000
With liam's fix:
    702100
plus Peng's fix:
    725900
