So it's OK for a segment to be in a bin that suggests that it has more

wrong place, that's what we need to fix.

I'm trying to move segments into appropriate bins in dsa_free().
In 0001-Re-bin-segment-when-dsa-memory-is-freed.patch, I extract 
the re-bin segment logic into a separate function called rebin_segment,
call it to move the segment to the appropriate bin when dsa memory is
freed. Otherwise, when allocating memory, due to the segment with
enough contiguous pages is in a smaller bin, a suitable segment
may not be found to allocate memory.

Fot test, I port the test_dsa patch from [1] and add an OOM case to
test memory allocation until OOM, free and then allocation, compare 
the number of allocated memory before and after.

Any thoughts?



Fix rebin_segment not working on in-place dsa.
