mm: unify new_node_page and alloc_migrate_target
Commit 394e31d2ceb4 ("mem-hotplug: alloc new page from a nearest neighbor node when mem-offline") has duplicated a large part of alloc_migrate_target with some hotplug specific special casing. To be more precise it tried to enfore the allocation from a different node than the original page. As a result the two function diverged in their shared logic, e.g. the hugetlb allocation strategy. Let's unify the two and express different NUMA requirements by the given nodemask. new_node_page will simply exclude the node it doesn't care about and alloc_migrate_target will use all the available nodes. alloc_migrate_target will then learn to migrate hugetlb pages more sanely and use preallocated pool when possible. Please note that alloc_migrate_target used to call alloc_page resp. alloc_pages_current so the memory policy of the current context which is quite strange when we consider that it is used in the context of alloc_contig_range which just tries to migrate pages which stand in the way.
