To reduce hugetlb_lock acquisitions and releases when freeing excess surplus
pages, scan the page list in two parts. First, transfer the needed pages to
the hugetlb pool. Then drop the lock and free the remaining pages back to the
buddy allocator.
In the common case there are zero excess pages and no lock operations are
required.
Thanks Mel Gorman for this improvement.
