[PATCH 07/11] mm: add optional memory reclaim in split_free_page()

[Marek Szyprowski]

split_free_page() function is used by migration code to grab a free page
once the migration has been finished. This function must obey the same
rules as memory allocation functions to keep the correct level of
memory watermarks. Memory compaction code calls it under locks, so it
cannot perform any *_slowpath style reclaim. However when this function
is called by migration code for Contiguous Memory Allocator, the sleeping
context is permitted and the function can make a real reclaim to ensure
that the call succeeds.

The reclaim code is based on the __alloc_page_slowpath() function.
