Subject: [PATCH v7 2/5] 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 alloc_pages_preferred_many() for it just
like for 'interleave' policy, which will be used by 2 general
memoory allocation APIs: alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_vma()
