If the size of "struct page" is not the power of two and this
feature is enabled, then the vmemmap pages of HugeTLB will be
corrupted after remapping (panic is about to happen in theory).
But this only exists when !CONFIG_MEMCG && !CONFIG_SLUB on
x86_64. However, it is not a conventional configuration nowadays.
So it is not a real word issue, just the result of a code review.
But we have to prevent anyone from configuring that combined
configuration. In order to avoid many checks like "is_power_of_2
(sizeof(struct page))" through mm/hugetlb_vmemmap.c. Introduce
HAS_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE_POWER_OF_2 to detect if the size of struct
page is power of 2 and make this feature depends on this new
config. Then we could prevent anyone do any unexpected
configuration.

Thanks Luis for proposing this idea. The initial implementation is as
follows. I found it could work properly at the first time after creating
.config. Then, if we use "make menuconfig" to disable CONFIG_MEMCG and
CONFIG_SLOB meaning the size of "struct page" becomes not power of 2,
whereas HAS_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE_POWER_OF_2 will not be changed to "n"
accordingly. I don't know how to make HAS_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE_POWER_OF_2
realize the potential change of the size of "struct page" since I am not
familiar with the Kconfig and how to detect this dependency. If you have
any suggestions, comments are really welcome.
