mm/sparse: abstract sparse buffer allocations

Patch series "sparse_init rewrite", v6.

In sparse_init() we allocate two large buffers to temporary hold usemap
and memmap for the whole machine.  However, we can avoid doing that if
we changed sparse_init() to operated on per-node bases instead of doing
it on the whole machine beforehand.

As shown by Baoquan
  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180628062857[email protected]

The buffers are large enough to cause machine stop to boot on small
memory systems.

Another benefit of these changes is that they also obsolete
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER.

This patch (of 5):

When struct pages are allocated for sparse-vmemmap VA layout, we first try
to allocate one large buffer, and than if that fails allocate struct pages
for each section as we go.

The code that allocates buffer is uses global variables and is spread
across several call sites.

Cleanup the code by introducing three functions to handle the global
buffer:

sparse_buffer_init()	initialize the buffer
sparse_buffer_fini()	free the remaining part of the buffer
sparse_buffer_alloc()	alloc from the buffer, and if buffer is empty
return NULL

Define these functions in sparse.c instead of sparse-vmemmap.c because
later we will use them for non-vmemmap sparse allocations as well.
