[03/17] Fix: find_or_create_page does not spread memory.

[clameter@sgi.com]

[-- Attachment #1: fix_find_or_create --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1663 bytes --]

The find_or_create function calls alloc_page with the gfp_mask passed to it
which is derived from the mappings gfp mask. So the allocation flags are right
(assuming my bugfix to fs/buffer.c is applied).

However, we call a alloc_page instead of page_cache_alloc in find_or_create_page.
This means that the page cache allocation will not obey cpuset memory spreading.

We really need to call __page_cache_alloc there.

Also stick a comment in there explaining how the allocation mask passed to
find_or_create_page needs to be handled.
