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.

bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 127/-310 (-183)
function                                     old     new   delta
get_page_from_freelist                      2525    2652    +127
__alloc_pages_direct_compact                 329     283     -46
__alloc_pages_nodemask                      2564    2300    -264

checkstack.pl:

function                            old    new
__alloc_pages_nodemask              248    200
get_page_from_freelist              168    184
__alloc_pages_direct_compact         40     24
