mm/hugetlb: add support for mempolicy MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY

Implement the missing huge page allocation functionality while obeying the
preferred node semantics.  This is similar to the implementation for
general page allocation, as it uses a fallback mechanism to try multiple
preferred nodes first, and then all other nodes.

To avoid adding too many "#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA" check, add a helper function
in mempolicy.h to check whether a mempolicy is MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.
