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
STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE_IS_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.
