mm: increase folio batch size

Browse source 
On a 104 thread, 2 socket Skylake system, Intel report a 4.7% performance
reduction with will-it-scale page_fault2.  This was due to reducing the
size of the batch from 32 to 15.  Increasing the folio batch size from 15
to 31 gives a performance increase of 12.5% relative to the original, or
17.2% relative to the reduced performance commit.

The penalty of this commit is an additional 128 bytes of stack usage.  Six
folio_batches are also allocated from percpu memory in cpu_fbatches so
that will be an additional 768 bytes of percpu memory (per CPU).  Tim Chen
originally submitted a patch like this in 2020:
