buffered_rmqueue removes a page from a given zone and uses the per-cpu
list for order-0. This is fine but a hypothetical caller that wanted
multiple order-0 pages has to disable/reenable interrupts multiple
times. This patch structures buffere_rmqueue such that it's relatively
easy to build a bulk order-0 page allocator. There is no functional
change.
Strictly speaking, this will now skip VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(bad_range(...)) for order-0
allocations. Do we care?
