mm/page_alloc: combine __alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask
There are only two callers of __alloc_pages() so prune the thicket of alloc_page variants by combining the two functions together. Current callers of __alloc_pages() simply add an extra 'NULL' parameter and current callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() call __alloc_pages() instead.

It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function

+tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages() and
using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
