vmalloc allocations with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP that do not explicitly
specify node ID will use huge pages only if size_per_node is larger than
a huge page.
Still the actual allocated memory is not distributed between nodes and
there is no advantage in such approach.
On the contrary, BPF allocates SZ_2M * num_possible_nodes() for each
new bpf_prog_pack, while it could do with a single huge page per pack.

Don't account for number of nodes for VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP with
NUMA_NO_NODE and use huge pages whenever the requested allocation size
is larger than a huge page.

Looking at this place, i see that an overwriting a "size" approach seems as
something that is a bit hard to follow. Below we have following code:

<snip>
...
again:
	area = __get_vm_area_node(real_size, align, shift, VM_ALLOC |
	  VM_UNINITIALIZED | vm_flags, start, end, node,
	  gfp_mask, caller);
...
<snip>

where we pass a "real_size", whereas there is only one place in the
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof() function where a "size" is used. It is
in the end of function:

<snip>
...
	size = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
	if (!(vm_flags & VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK))
		kmemleak_vmalloc(area, size, gfp_mask);

	return area->addr;
<snip>
