[PATCH] cpuset memory spread page cache implementation and hooks

Change the page cache allocation calls to support cpuset memory spreading.

See the previous patch, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset memory
spreading.

On systems without cpusets configured in the kernel, this is no change.

On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the "memory_spread"
cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks cpuset, this adds a call to a
cpuset routine and failed bit test of the processor state flag PF_SPREAD_PAGE.

On tasks in cpusets with "memory_spread" enabled, this adds a call to a cpuset
routine that computes which of the tasks mems_allowed nodes should be
preferred for this allocation.

If memory spreading applies to a particular allocation, then any other NUMA
mempolicy does not apply.
