migration: only migrate_prep() once per move_pages()

Browse source 
migrate_prep() is fairly expensive (72us on 16-core barcelona 1.9GHz).
Commit 3140a22730 improved move_pages()
throughput by breaking it into chunks, but it also made migrate_prep() be
called once per chunk (every 128pages or so) instead of once per
move_pages().

This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did
before 2.6.29.  It is also a followup to commit
0aedadf91a ("mm: move migrate_prep out from
under mmap_sem").

This improves migration throughput on the above machine from 600MB/s to
750MB/s.
