mm: page_alloc: add alloc_contig_frozen_{range,pages}()

In order to allocate given range of pages or allocate compound pages
without incrementing their refcount, adding two new helper
alloc_contig_frozen_{range,pages}() which may be beneficial to some users
(eg hugetlb).

The new alloc_contig_{range,pages} only take !__GFP_COMP gfp now, and the
free_contig_range() is refactored to only free non-compound pages, the
only caller to free compound pages in cma_free_folio() is changed
accordingly, and the free_contig_frozen_range() is provided to match the
alloc_contig_frozen_range(), which is used to free frozen pages.
