Audra Mitchell a98ec863fd lib/test_vmalloc.c: minor fixes to test_vmalloc.c
If PAGE_SIZE is larger than 4k and if you have a system with a large
number of CPUs, this test can require a very large amount of memory
leading to oom-killer firing.  Given the type of allocation, the kernel
won't have anything to kill, causing the system to stall.

Add a parameter to the test_vmalloc driver to represent the number of
times a percpu object will be allocated.  Calculate this in
test_vmalloc.sh to be 90% of available memory or the current default of
35000, whichever is smaller.
