mm/page_alloc: rename alloc_mask to alloc_gfp
Patch series "Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers", v3.
I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand why
they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for keeping
__alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions. That led
to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the
documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation
wasn't included.
Anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes.
This patch (of 7):
We have two masks involved -- the nodemask and the gfp mask, so alloc_mask
is an unclear name.
