Introduce utility functions setting the foundation for ptdescs. These
will also assist in the splitting out of ptdesc from struct page.

ptdesc_alloc() is defined to allocate new ptdesc pages as compound
pages. This is to standardize ptdescs by allowing for one allocation
and one free function, in contrast to 2 allocation and 2 free functions.

Hi Vishal,

I'm a little curious, why is the page_ptdesc() using inline functions instead of macro?
If this is any magic, please tell me, thank you very much.

No magic here, I was mainly basing it off Matthew's netmem
series. I'm not too clear on when to use macros vs inlines
myself :/.

If there's a benefit to having it be a macro let me
know and I can make that change in v2.
