Patch series "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios", v2.
Use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios can greatly reduce not only the amount
of code but also the allocation and free time.
Approximate LOC to mm/hugetlb.c: +60, -240
Allocate and free 500 1GB hugeTLB memory without HVO by:
time echo 500 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
time echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
Before After
Alloc ~13s ~10s
Free ~15s <1s
The above magnitude generally holds for multiple x86 and arm64 CPU
models.

This patch (of 3):
Support __GFP_COMP in alloc_contig_range(). When the flag is set, upon
success the function returns a large folio prepared by prep_new_page(),
rather than a range of order-0 pages prepared by split_free_pages() (which
is renamed from split_map_pages()).
alloc_contig_range() can be used to allocate folios larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER, e.g., gigantic hugeTLB folios. So on the free path,
free_one_page() needs to handle that by split_large_buddy().
