The sample code above cannot completely solve the current problem.
For example, when fragsz is greater than PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_SIZE(32768),
__page_frag_cache_refill will return a memory of only 32768 bytes, so
should we continue to expand the PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_SIZE? Maybe more
work needs to be done
