powerpc/book3s64/radix: add support for vmemmap optimization for radix

With 2M PMD-level mapping, we require 32 struct pages and a single vmemmap
page can contain 1024 struct pages (PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(struct page)). Hence
with 64K page size, we don't use vmemmap deduplication for PMD-level
mapping.

mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: introduce the name HVO

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced.
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.

This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].
