Subject: [RFC kernel 1/2] mm: Add the functions used to get free pages information

get_total_pages_count() tries to get the page count of the system
RAM.
get_free_pages() is intend to construct a free pages bitmap by
traversing the free_list.

The free pages information will be sent to QEMU through virtio
and used for live migration optimization.
