Subject: mm/nommu: use alloc_pages_exact() rather than it's own implementation
do_mmap_private() in nommu.c try to allocate physically contiguous pages
with arbitrary size in some cases and we now have good abstract function
to do exactly same thing, alloc_pages_exact(). So, change to use it.
There is no functional change. This is the preparation step for support
page owner feature accurately.
