[v3,0/3] Split huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages

Message

In order to reduce the difficulty of code review in series[1]. We disable
huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages when that feature is enabled. In this
series, we do not disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages anymore. We
will split huge PMD mapping when needed. When HugeTLB pages are freed from
the pool we do not attempt coalasce and move back to a PMD mapping because
it is much more complex.

Changelog in v3:
  1. Collect Review-by from Mike.
  2. Rename 'walked_pte' to 'nr_walked'.
  3. Update commit log in patch 1.
  4. Add a comment above vmemmap_remap_range() called from vmemmap_remap_free().

  Thanks Mike's suggestions and review.

Changelog in v2:
  1. Collect Review-by from Mike.
  2. Remove helpers used to preallocate/free page tables for HugeTLB pages.

  Thanks Mike's suggestions. It really eliminate a lot of code.
