MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES can be increased when it becomes a boot time parameter
in later commits. To make sure read_kcore() reschedule its work in a
constant period, use pageblock_nr_pages instead for reschedule period,
since pageblock_nr_pages is a constant and either the same or half of
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

Yeah, the exact number doesn't actually matter here.
