mm/page_alloc: make percpu_pagelist_high_fraction reads lock-free

When page isolation loops indefinitely during memory offline, reading
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_high_fraction blocks on pcp_batch_high_lock,
causing hung task warnings.

Make procfs reads lock-free since percpu_pagelist_high_fraction is a
simple integer with naturally atomic reads, writers still serialize via
the mutex.

This prevents hung task warnings when reading the procfs file during
long-running memory offline operations.
