[PATCH] handle radix_tree_node allocation failures

This patch uses the radix_tree_preload() API in add_to_page_cache().

A new gfp_mask argument is added to add_to_page_cache(), which is then passed
on to radix_tree_preload().   It's pretty simple.

In the case of adding pages to swapcache we're still using GFP_ATOMIC, so
these addition attempts can still fail.  That's OK, because the error is
handled and, unlike file pages, it will not cause user applicaton failures.
This codepath (radix-tree node exhaustion on swapout) was well tested in the
days when the swapper_space radix tree was fragmented all over the place due
to unfortunate swp_entry bit layout.
