Subject: [PATCH 13/23] thp, mm: allocate huge pages in grab_cache_page_write_begin()

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

Try to allocate huge page if flags has AOP_FLAG_TRANSHUGE.

If, for some reason, it's not possible allocate a huge page at this
possition, it returns NULL. Caller should take care of fallback to
small pages.
