[PATCH] mm: pcp use non powers of 2 for batch size

Jack Steiner reported this to have fixed his problem (bad colouring):
"The patches fix both problems that I found - bad
 coloring & excessive pages in pagesets."

In most workloads this is not likely to be such a pronounced problem,
however it should help corner cases.  And avoiding powers of 2 in these
types of memory operations is always a good idea.
