mm/migrate: introduce a standard migration target allocation function
There are some similar functions for migration target allocation. Since there is no fundamental difference, it's better to keep just one rather than keeping all variants. This patch implements base migration target allocation function. In the following patches, variants will be converted to use this function. Changes should be mechanical, but, unfortunately, there are some differences. First, some callers' nodemask is assgined to NULL since NULL nodemask will be considered as all available nodes, that is, &node_states[N_MEMORY]. Second, for hugetlb page allocation, gfp_mask is redefined as regular hugetlb allocation gfp_mask plus __GFP_THISNODE if user provided gfp_mask has it. This is because future caller of this function requires to set this node constaint. Lastly, if provided nodeid is NUMA_NO_NODE, nodeid is set up to the node where migration source lives. It helps to remove simple wrappers for setting up the nodeid. Note...
