x86: make DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and CPA more robust

Use PF_MEMALLOC to prevent recursive calls in the DBEUG_PAGEALLOC
case. This makes the code simpler and more robust against allocation
failures.

This fixes the following fallback to non-mmconfig:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/20/551
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10083

Also, for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=n reduce the pool size to one page.
