This commit introduces alloc_contig_freed_pages() function
which allocates (ie. removes from buddy system) free pages
in range.  Caller has to guarantee that all pages in range
are in buddy system.

Along with this function, a free_contig_pages() function is
provided which frees all (or a subset of) pages allocated
with alloc_contig_free_pages().

Michal Nazarewicz has modified the function to make it easier
to allocate not MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES aligned pages by making it
return pfn of one-past-the-last allocated page.
