[PATCH v2 5/6] mm: hugetlb: add a new function to allocate a new gigantic page

[Huang Shijie <shijie.huang@xxxxxxx>]

There are three ways we can allocate a new gigantic page:

1. When the NUMA is not enabled, use alloc_gigantic_page() to get
   the gigantic page.

2. The NUMA is enabled, but the vma is NULL.
   There is no memory policy we can refer to.
   So create a @nodes_allowed, initialize it with init_nodemask_of_mempolicy()
   or init_nodemask_of_node(). Then use alloc_fresh_gigantic_page() to get
   the gigantic page.

3. The NUMA is enabled, and the vma is valid.
   We can follow the memory policy of the @vma.

   Get @nodes_mask by huge_nodemask(), and use alloc_fresh_gigantic_page()
   to get the gigantic page.
