[PATCH] mm: page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages

Increase the page allocator's per-cpu magazines from 1/4MB to 1/2MB.

Over 100+ runs for a workload, the difference in mean is about 2%.  The best
results for both are almost same.  Though the max variation in results with
1/2MB is only 2.2%, whereas with 1/4MB it is 12%.
