mm: introduce node_zonelist() for accessing the zonelist for a GFP mask
Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.
