[PATCH v4 13/18] mm: Remove __alloc_pages_node()

[Brendan Jackman <jackmanb@google.com>]

There were only a few users, which have been removed. The only advantage
of this API over alloc_pages_node() is avoiding a single conditional
branch. The disadvantages are:

1. More API surface, more sources of confusion, more maintenance.

2. Worse impact of CPU hotplug bugs: most users of __alloc_pages_node()
   were using the result of cpu_to_node(); if the CPU gets hotplugged
   out this will return NUMA_NO_NODE. If one of these paths fails to
   protect against a concurrent hotplug then page_alloc.c will use
   NUMA_NO_NODE as an index into NODE_DATA() and cause some horrible
   memory corruption or other. With alloc_pages_node(), the code might
   just work fine.

Ulterior motive: this frees up the __* variants of the allocator APIs to
serve specifically for use as mm-internal API.
