Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] mm/page_alloc: Add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking

As already done in GrapheneOS, add the __alloc_size attribute for
appropriate page allocator interfaces, to provide additional hinting for
better bounds checking, assisting CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and other compiler
optimizations.
