Any memory allocated via the memblock allocator and not via the buddy
will be makred reserved already in the memmap. For those pages, we can
call free_bootmem_page() to free it to buddy allocator.
Becasue we wan to free some vmemmap pages of the HugeTLB to the buddy
allocator, we can use this helper to do that in the later patchs.
