[RFCv6 09/13] mm: alloc_contig_free_pages() added

[Michal Nazarewicz <m.nazarewicz@samsung.com>]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

This commit introduces alloc_contig_free_pages() function
which allocates (ie. removes from buddy system) free pages
in range.  Caller has to guarantee that all pages in range
are in buddy system.

Along with alloc_contig_free_pages(), a free_contig_pages()
function is provided which frees (or a subset of) pages
allocated with alloc_contig_free_pages().

I, Michal Nazarewicz, have modified the
alloc_contig_free_pages() function slightly from the original
version, mostly to make it easier to allocate note MAX_ORDER
aligned pages.  This is done by making the function return
a pfn of a page one past the one allocated which may be
further then caller requested.
