Subject: mm/hugetlb: make alloc_gigantic_page() available for general use

Patch series "mm/debug: Add tests validating architecture page table
helpers", v5.

This series adds a test validation for architecture exported page table
helpers.  Patch in the series adds basic transformation tests at various
levels of the page table.  Before that it exports gigantic page allocation
function from HugeTLB.

This test was originally suggested by Catalin during arm64 THP migration
RFC discussion earlier.  Going forward it can include more specific tests
with respect to various generic MM functions like THP, HugeTLB etc and
platform specific tests.

This patch (of 2):

alloc_gigantic_page() implements an allocation method where it scans over
various zones looking for a large contiguous memory block which could not
have been allocated through the buddy allocator.  A subsequent patch which
tests arch page table helpers needs such a method to allocate PUD_SIZE
sized memory block.  In the future such methods might have other use cases
as well.  So alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual
memory allocation method and made available via new
alloc_gigantic_page_order().
