[desc]:
Large memory VM starts slowly when using -mem-prealloc, and
there are some areas to optimize in current method;
1、mmap will be used to alloc threads stack during create page
clearing threads, and it will attempt mm->mmap_sem for write
lock, but clearing threads have hold read lock, this competition
will cause threads createion very slow;
2、methods of calcuating pages for per threads is not well;if we use
64 threads to split 160 hugepage,63 threads clear 2page,1 thread
clear 34 page,so the entire speed is very slow;
to solve the first problem,we add a mutex in thread function,and
start all threads when all threads finished createion;
and the second problem, we spread remainder to other threads,in
situation that 160 hugepage and 64 threads, there are 32 threads
clear 3 pages,and 32 threads clear 2 pages.
[test]:
320G 84c VM start time can be reduced to 10s
680G 84c VM start time can be reduced to 18s
