Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: introduce ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP

The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each
HugeTLB page is implemented on x86_64, however, the infrastructure of
this feature is already there, we could easily enable it for other
architectures.  Introduce ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP for other
architectures to be easily enabled.  Just select this config if they
want to enable this feature.
