[PATCH v2 08/14] 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.
