mm: use alloc_pages_exact() in alloc_large_system_hash() to avoid duplicated logic

alloc_large_system_hash() has logic for freeing pages at the end of an
excessively large power-of-two buffer that is a duplicate of what is in
alloc_pages_exact().  This patch converts alloc_large_system_hash() to use
alloc_pages_exact().
