mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy.  As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering.  This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.

A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist.  I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.
