Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE

Browse source 
Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE.  However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time.  This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.

This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable.  When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE.  Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.
