[PATCH 08/12] mm/mempolicy: Create a page allocator for policy

[Ben Widawsky]

This patch adds a helper function which takes care of handling multiple
preferred nodes. It will be called by future patches that need to handle
this, specifically VMA based page allocation, and task based page
allocation. Huge pages don't quite fit the same pattern because they use
different underlying page allocation functions. This consumes the
previous interleave policy specific allocation function to make a one
stop shop for policy based allocation.

For now, only interleaved policy will be used so there should be no
functional change yet. However, if bisection points to issues in the
next few commits, it was likely the fault of this patch.

Similar functionality is offered via policy_node() and
policy_nodemask(). By themselves however, neither can achieve this
fallback style of sets of nodes.
