mm: memory_hotplug: make hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with memmap_on_memory

Browse Source 
For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the
feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes
precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory.  However, someone wants
to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over
hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to
succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations.  So the decision of
making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant.

The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the
section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized.  If the
section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself,
hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do
the optimization.  Then both kernel parameters are compatible.  So this
patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap
pages.  The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page
can be optimized.
