mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma
Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(), rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage). vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node(). Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers". It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8bfd ("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit. Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index". Originally I thought it could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot be decided. And how ilx is applied depends also on page order. The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE: with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg (though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the same order). vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but it is not used, and should be removed when agreed. get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g. swapoff and madvise used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.
