btrfs: allocate page arrays using bulk page allocator

While calling alloc_page() in a loop is an effective way to populate an
array of pages, the MM subsystem provides a method to allocate pages in
bulk.  alloc_pages_bulk_array() populates the NULL slots in a page
array, trying to grab more than one page at a time.

Unfortunately, it doesn't guarantee allocating all slots in the array,
but it's easy to call it in a loop and return an error if no progress
occurs.
