Some typos in the commit message.  Might be better as:

The keyword "free" is not expressive enough to describe the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page.  Rename the
keyword to "optimize".

Some function names are prefixed with "huge_page" instead of "hugetlb".  These can easily be confused with THP.  Change function names to make
code more clear and expressive.
