bootmem, x86: further fixes for arch-specific bootmem wrapping



Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix

Commit c1329375 tried to clean up
bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct.  Before the commit,
the followings were broken.

* Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch
  preference.

* reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into
  reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is
  not preference here.  The region specified MUST fall into the
  specified region; otherwise, it will panic.

After the commit,

* If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback
  to whatever is available.  Instead, it simply failed allocation.

There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and
still keep things simple for archs.  Plus, all that arch wants is a
way to prefer certain node over another.

This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and
add alloc_bootmem_core() instead.  If necessary, arch can define
bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all
allocation information and returns the preferred node.  bootmem
generic code will always try the preferred node first and then
fallback to other nodes as usual.
