pg_buffercache: Allow huge allocations.
Otherwise, users who have configured shared_buffers >= 256GB won't be able to use this module. There probably aren't many of those, but it doesn't hurt anything to fix it so that it works. Backpatch to 9.4, where MemoryContextAllocHuge was introduced. The same problem exists in older branches, but there's no easy way to fix it there. KaiGai Kohei
