[RFC PATCH v2 09/16] mm: Read the nr_pages_allocs value given by user

[Juan Yescas]

This change reads the nr_page_allocs value given by the user and
validates that is an unsigned long.

If the input is valid, it will allocate an array of nr_page_allocs
size. This array will store the allocation ids. These allocation ids
will be used to free the allocations.
