Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] mm: hugetlb: replace hugetlb_free_vmemmap_enabled with a static_key

The page_head_if_fake() is used throughout memory management and the
conditional check requires checking a global variable, although the
overhead of this check may be small, it increases when the memory
cache comes under pressure. Also, the global variable will not be
modified after system boot, so it is very appropriate to use static
key machanism.
