mm/hugetlb: do pre-HVO for bootmem allocated pages

For large systems, the overhead of vmemmap pages for hugetlb is
substantial.  It's about 1.5% of memory, which is about 45G for a 3T
system.  If you want to configure most of that system for hugetlb (e.g.
to use as backing memory for VMs), there is a chance of running out of
memory on boot, even though you know that the 45G will become available
later.

To avoid this scenario, and since it's a waste to first allocate and then
free that 45G during boot, do pre-HVO for hugetlb bootmem allocated pages
('gigantic' pages).

pre-HVO is done by adding functions that are called from
sparse_init_nid_early and sparse_init_nid_late.  The first is called
before memmap allocation, so it takes care of allocating memmap HVO-style.
The second verifies that all bootmem pages look good, specifically it
checks that they do not intersect with multiple zones.  This can only be
done from sparse_init_nid_late path, when zones have been initialized.

The hugetlb page size must be aligned to the section size, and aligned to
the size of memory described by the number of page structures contained in
one PMD (since pre-HVO is not prepared to split PMDs).  This should be
true for most 'gigantic' pages, it is for 1G pages on x86, where both of
these alignment requirements are 128M.

This will only have an effect if hugetlb_bootmem_alloc was called early in
boot.  If not, it won't do anything, and HVO for bootmem hugetlb pages
works as before.
