s390 also has non-order-0 page table allocation, but they both do not 
use the generic page table allocation now.

After more thinking, I'd prefer to change back to use 
inc_lruvec_page_state()/dec_lruvec_page_state(), since now no 
architecures will need non-order-0 page table allocation.

After this patchset, I plan to convert parisc and s390 to use generic 
pagetable allocation, then I will add non-order-0 page table allocation 
support. Like Matthew suggested, maybe I need change the API to pass the 
number of pages.
