When a pgmap @align is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge page
alignment and thus uses compound pages to describe them as opposed to a
struct per 4K.
With @align > PAGE_SIZE and when struct pages are stored in ram
(!altmap) most tail pages are reused. Consequently, the amount of unique
struct pages is a lot smaller that the total amount of struct pages
being mapped.
When struct pages are initialize in memmap_init_zone_device, make
sure that only unique struct pages are initialized i.e. the first 2
4K pages per @align which means 128 struct pages, instead of 32768 for
2M @align or 262144 for a 1G @align.
Keep old behaviour with altmap given that it doesn't support reusal
of tail vmemmap areas.
