Subject: [PATCH v6 2/6] mm/memplicy: add page allocation function for MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy

The semantics of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is similar to MPOL_PREFERRED,
that it will first try to allocate memory from the preferred node(s),
and fallback to all nodes in system when first try fails.

Add a dedicated function for it just like 'interleave' policy.
