Creates pageset_set_batch() for use in setup_pageset().
pageset_set_batch() imitates the functionality of

Why need adjust pcp->high, pcp->batch during system running? What's the
requirement?
There is currently a sysctl (which I patch later in this series) which
allows adjusting the ->high mark (and, indirectly, ->batch).
Additionally, memory hotplug changes ->high and ->batch due to the
zone size changing (essentially, zone->managed_pages and
zone->present_pages have changed) , meaning that zone_batchsize(),
which is used at boot to set ->batch and (indirectly) ->high has a
different output.
Thanks for your explain. I'm curious about this sysctl, when need adjust
the ->high, ->batch during system running except memory hotplug which
will change zone size?
Note that in addition to the 2 users of this functionality mentioned
here, I'm currently working on anther resizer of zones (runtime NUMA
reconfiguration).
