mm: use correct numa policy node for transparent hugepages
Pass down the correct node for a transparent hugepage allocation. Most
callers continue to use the current node, however the hugepaged daemon
now uses the previous node of the first to be collapsed page instead.
This ensures that khugepaged does not mess up local memory for an
existing process which uses local policy.
The choice of node is somewhat primitive currently: it just uses the
node of the first page in the pmd range. An alternative would be to
look at multiple pages and use the most popular node. I used the
simplest variant for now which should work well enough for the case of
all pages being on the same node.
