Variable Order Page Cache: Add basic allocation functions
Extend __page_cache_alloc to take an order parameter and
modify caller sites. Modify mapping_set_gfp_mask to set
__GFP_COMP if the mapping requires higher order allocations.
put_page() is already capable of handling compound pages. So
there are no changes needed to release higher order page
cache pages.
