Allow individual allocacators to be debugged without enabling debugging
on all allocators. The ALLOCATOR_DEBUG define will still work as
expected and enable debugging for all allocators that see this define.

Move the buddy allocator implementation to a new file to make the
code more organized. Also, as part of this, commonize some macros
and functions which will be used by future allocator implementations.

Support multiple types of allocation backends. Currently there is
only one allocator implementation available: a buddy allocator.
Buddy allocators have certain limitations though. For one the
allocator requires metadata to be allocated from the kernel's
system memory. This causes a given buddy allocation to potentially
sleep on a kmalloc() call.
This patch has been created so that a new backend can be created
which will avoid any dynamic system memory management routines
from being called.

Implement a new buddy allocation scheme for the GPU's VA space.
The bitmap allocator was using too much memory and is not a scaleable
solution as the GPU's address space keeps getting bigger. The buddy
allocation scheme is much more memory efficient when the majority
of the address space is not allocated.
The buddy allocator is not constrained by the notion of a split
address space. The bitmap allocator could only manage either small
pages or large pages but not both at the same time. Thus the bottom
of the address space was for small pages, the top for large pages.
Although, that split is not removed quite yet, the new allocator
enables that to happen.
The buddy allocator is also very scalable. It manages the relatively
small comptag space to the enormous GPU VA space and everything in
between. This is important since the GPU has lots of different sized
spaces that need managing.
Currently there are certain limitations. For one the allocator does
not handle the fixed allocations from CUDA very well. It can do so
but with certain caveats. The PTE page size is always set to small.
This means the BA may place other small page allocations in the
buddies around the fixed allocation. It does this to avoid having
large and small page allocations in the same PDE.

To help remove the nvhost dependency from nvgpu, rename ioctl defines
and structures used by nvgpu such that nvhost is replaced by nvgpu.
Duplicate some structures as needed.
Update header guards and such accordingly.
