[RFC PATCH v2 12/16] mm: Define the make_alloc() function

The make_alloc() is the core function that performs the allocation.

The tasks of this function are:

- Call the Buddy allocator to make the allocation.
- Store the details of the allocation in struct page_alloc.
- Insert the struct page_alloc in an xarray using the allocation id
as key.

If something fails during the allocation, the pages and cache
will be freed.

Changes in v2:
	- Once that page_alloc is initialized, insert it in xarray.
	- Use 20 characters for the file name instead of 12.
	- Fix use-after-free issue while releasing the pages.
