[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] i915/gem_tiled_swapping: Tweak mlocked size

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

On my systems with lots of memdebug enabled, we would hit the oomkiller
90% of the time during the initial mlock prior to allocating any objects
(and about 20% of the time lockup / panic). Tweak the target allocation
sizes, and include a few more breadcrumbs tracing the allocations so
that we can reliably start the tests. We still do hit our shrinker and
even the oom notifier, so still achieving its goal of exercising low
memory and swap pressure.

To slightly compensate for the reduced mempressure (albeit we do not
remove the swapping, the raison d'etre of the test), we increase the
number of threads to force the system to reuse active fences, making it
more stressful on the fence code.
