Subject: [PATCH v9 bpf-next 1/9] x86/Kconfig: select HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC with HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP

From: Song Liu <songliubraving@...com>

This enables module_alloc() to allocate huge page for 2MB+ requests.
To check the difference of this change, we need enable config
CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS, and call module_alloc(2MB). Before the change,
/sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/kernel shows pte for this map. With the
change, /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/ show pmd for thie map.
