memblock: refactor internal allocation functions

Currently, memblock has several internal functions with overlapping
functionality.  They all call memblock_find_in_range_node() to find free
memory and then reserve the allocated range and mark it with kmemleak.
However, there is difference in the allocation constraints and in
fallback strategies.

The allocations returning physical address first attempt to find free
memory on the specified node within mirrored memory regions, then retry
on the same node without the requirement for memory mirroring and
finally fall back to all available memory.

The allocations returning virtual address start with clamping the
allowed range to memblock.current_limit, attempt to allocate from the
specified node from regions with mirroring and with user defined minimal
address.  If such allocation fails, next attempt is done with node
restriction lifted.  Next, the allocation is retried with minimal
address reset to zero and at last without the requirement for mirrored
regions.

Let's consolidate various fallbacks handling and make them more
consistent for physical and virtual variants.  Most of the fallback
handling is moved to memblock_alloc_range_nid() and it now handles node
and mirror fallbacks.

The memblock_alloc_internal() uses memblock_alloc_range_nid() to get a
physical address of the allocated range and converts it to virtual
address.

The fallback for allocation below the specified minimal address remains
in memblock_alloc_internal() because memblock_alloc_range_nid() is used
by CMA with exact requirement for lower bounds.

The memblock_phys_alloc_nid() function is completely dropped as it is not
used anywhere outside memblock and its only usage can be replaced by a
call to memblock_alloc_range_nid().
