mm: rename and move get/set_freepage_migratetype
The pair of get/set_freepage_migratetype() functions are used to cache pageblock migratetype for a page put on a pcplist, so that it does not have to be retrieved again when the page is put on a free list (e.g. when pcplists become full). Historically it was also assumed that the value is accurate for pages on freelists (as the functions' names unfortunately suggest), but that cannot be guaranteed without affecting various allocator fast paths. It is in fact not needed and all such uses have been removed. The last remaining (but pointless) usage related to pages of freelists is in move_freepages(), which this patch removes. To prevent further confusion, rename the functions to get/set_pcppage_migratetype() and expand their description. Since all the users are now in mm/page_alloc.c, move the functions there from the shared header.
