Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm/page_alloc: Rename alloced to allocated

Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced"
being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name
"alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc
tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated.
To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated
in rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar
names when the bulk allocator is introduced.
