Subject: mm/memplicy: add page allocation function for MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy
The semantics of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is similar to MPOL_PREFERRED, that it
will first try to allocate memory from the preferred node(s), and fallback
to all nodes in system when first try fails.
Add a dedicated function for it just like 'interleave' policy.
