[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/xe: Update shrinker batch size based on average BO size

["Thomas Hellström" <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com>]

Update our preferred vmscan batch size on each count pass to avoid
invoking scan_objects for requests too small to free even a single
average-sized GEM object. Our rough estimate for an effective batch
is twice the average number of pages per populated ttm_tt across all
shrinkable and purgeable objects. The factor of two provides headroom
so that most scan invocations can free at least one GEM object despite
variability in object sizes.

The batch value is updated as an exponential moving average,
(old_batch + avg) / 2, to smooth out sudden changes in the
object population. It is floored at 128 pages, the kernel default
SHRINK_BATCH, to ensure the shrinker remains responsive when there
are very few objects.

The populated_tts counter introduced in the previous commit provides
the object count needed for the average. We inherit the same
justification as the analogous mechanism in i915: shrinking a GEM
object has non-trivial locking overhead, so firing the shrinker for
requests smaller than a single object is wasteful.

v2:
- Fix the average object size estimate to account for the full
  shrinkable and purgeable population.
