thp: add numa awareness to hugepage allocations

It's mostly a matter of replacing alloc_pages with alloc_pages_vma after
introducing alloc_pages_vma.  khugepaged needs special handling as the
allocation has to happen inside collapse_huge_page where the vma is known
and an error has to be returned to the outer loop to sleep
alloc_sleep_millisecs in case of failure.  But it retains the more
efficient logic of handling allocation failures in khugepaged in case of
CONFIG_NUMA=n.
