Mike Rapoport b7902ce175 mips: switch to generic version of pte allocation
MIPS allocates kernel PTE pages with

	__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, PTE_ORDER)

and user PTE pages with

	pte = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, PTE_ORDER)

and then uses clear_highpage(pte) to zero out the allocated page for the
user page tables.

The PTE_ORDER is hardwired to zero, which makes MIPS implementation almost
identical to the generic one.

Switch MIPS to the generic version that does exactly the same thing for the
kernel page tables and adds __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs.

The pte_free_kernel() and pte_free() versions on mips are identical to the
generic ones and can be simply dropped.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
