mm/hugetlb: remove fake head pages
HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO) reduces memory usage by freeing most vmemmap pages for huge pages and remapping the freed range to a single page containing the struct page metadata. With the new mask-based compound_info encoding (for power-of-2 struct page sizes), all tail pages of the same order are now identical regardless of which compound page they belong to. This means the tail pages can be truly shared without fake heads. Allocate a single page of initialized tail struct pages per zone per order in the vmemmap_tails[] array in struct zone. All huge pages of that order in the zone share this tail page, mapped read-only into their vmemmap. The head page remains unique per huge page. Redefine MAX_FOLIO_ORDER using ilog2(). The define has to produce a compile-constant as it is used to specify vmemmap_tail array size. For some reason, compiler is not able to solve get_order() at compile-time, but ilog2() works. Avoid PUD_ORDER to define MAX_FOLIO_ORDER as it adds dependency to <linux/pgtable.h> which generates hard-to-break include loop. This eliminates fake heads while maintaining the same memory savings, and simplifies compound_head() by removing fake head detection.
