[PATCH 3.2 060/110] fs/buffer.c: support buffer cache allocations with gfp modifiers

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

3.2.71-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gioh Kim <gioh.kim@lge.com>

commit 3b5e6454aaf6b4439b19400d8365e2ec2d24e411 upstream.

A buffer cache is allocated from movable area because it is referred
for a while and released soon.  But some filesystems are taking buffer
cache for a long time and it can disturb page migration.

New APIs are introduced to allocate buffer cache with user specific
flag.  *_gfp APIs are for user want to set page allocation flag for
page cache allocation.  And *_unmovable APIs are for the user wants to
allocate page cache from non-movable area.
