This is cleaner and more uniform. Did not see any problem while
running some quick hugetlb tests across multiple page size configs
after applying all patches in this series.

Adding this new configuration ARM64_CONT_PMD_SHIFT makes sense, as
it eliminates existing constant values that are used in an ad hoc
manner, while computing contiguous page table entry properties.
