[PATCH 1/3] mm: alloc_contig_range: allow to specify GFP mask

Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should
be done with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably
right for all current uses of this interface, but may change as
CMA is used in more use-cases (including being the default DMA
memory allocator on some platforms).

Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the
GFP mask set by upper layers. No functional change in this patch,
just making the assumptions a bit more obvious.
