mm: add a gfp-translate script to help understand page allocation failure reports

The page allocation failure messages include a line that looks like

page allocation failure. order:1, mode:0x4020

The mode is easy to translate but irritating for the lazy and a bit error
prone.  This patch adds a very simple helper script gfp-translate for the
mode: portion of the page allocation failure messages.  An example usage
looks like

  mel@machina:~/linux-2.6 $ scripts/gfp-translate 0x4020
  Source: /home/mel/linux-2.6
  Parsing: 0x4020
  #define __GFP_HIGH	(0x20)	/* Should access emergency pools? */
  #define __GFP_COMP	(0x4000) /* Add compound page metadata */

The script is not a work of art but it has come in handy for me a few
times so I thought I would share.
