page allocator: break up the allocator entry point into fast and slow paths
The core of the page allocator is one giant function which allocates
memory on the stack and makes calculations that may not be needed for
every allocation. This patch breaks up the allocator path into fast and
slow paths for clarity. Note the slow paths are still inlined but the
entry is marked unlikely. If they were not inlined, it actally increases
text size to generate the as there is only one call site.
