[RFC 3/6] mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocator

[Vlastimil Babka]

The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist pointer
as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or indirectly obtain the
zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred node id and gfp_mask. We can
make the code a bit simpler by doing the zonelist lookup in
__alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node id instead (gfp_mask is
already another parameter).

There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined node_zonelist():

bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952)

This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets to
zonelists.
