mm, page_alloc: reduce number of alloc_pages* functions' parameters
Introduce struct alloc_context to accumulate the numerous parameters
passed between the alloc_pages* family of functions and
get_page_from_freelist(). This excludes gfp_flags and alloc_info, which
mutate too much along the way, and allocation order, which is conceptually
different.
The result is shorter function signatures, as well as overal code size and
stack usage reductions.
