mm/page_alloc: rename ALLOC_TRYLOCK -> ALLOC_NOLOCK

Patch series "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs", v5.

Some tweaks and cleanups for page allocator entrypoint and flags.  This is
motivated by preparation for __GFP_UNMAPPED [1] (which will probably
become ALLOC_UNMAPPED in its next iteration), but all this is supposed to
be an improvement to the codebase in its own right: unifying code paths,
reducing API surface, and removing GFP flags.

This started with unifying __alloc_frozen_pages[_nolock]_noprof() and
expanded from there.

Unifying the nolock allocator entrypoint with the normal allocator
entrypoint means adding an alloc_flags argument to the later (only exposed
within mm/).  This presents an opportunity to take advantage of that arg
to remove some GFP flags, if we add that alloc_flags arg a bit more
broadly to allocator entrypoints.

To distinguish between mm-internal and "public" allocator entrypoints, it
makes sense to use the __ prefix.  There are already some public APIs with
that prefix.  For *alloc_pages*, just removing those variants seems like a
nice cleanup anyway, so do that.  For get_free_pages, the "__" variant is
the _only_ variant and it's very widely used, so it doesn't seem
worthwhile to modify that.  Therefore, scope this "__" change specifically
to the *alloc_pages* API, which means we leave the *folio_alloc* API
untouched too, even though that could probably be cleaned up if so
desired.


This patch (of 18):

It's confusing that the function is called "nolock" but the flag is called
"trylock", align them.

The function's terminology is more visible and has more mindshare so use that.
