[PATCH 01/19] fs: remove mpage_alloc

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

open code mpage_alloc in it's two callers and simplify the results
because of the context:

 - __mpage_writepage always passes GFP_NOFS and can thus always sleep and
    will never get a NULL return from bio_alloc at all.
 - do_mpage_readpage can only get a non-sleeping context for readahead
   which never sets PF_MEMALLOC and thus doesn't need the retry loop
   either.

Both cases will never have __GFP_HIGH set.
