On platforms that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and support PMD vmaps,
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages first, before falling
back to small pages.
Allocations which use something other than PAGE_KERNEL protections are
not permitted to use huge pages yet, not all callers expect this (e.g.,
module allocations vs strict module rwx).
This reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a
2-node POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmap is added to disable at boot.
