Use module_alloc_huge for bpf_prog_pack so that BPF programs sit on PMD_SIZE pages. This benefits system performance by reducing iTLB miss rate. Also, remove set_vm_flush_reset_perms() from alloc_new_pack() and use set_memory_[nx|rw] in bpf_prog_pack_free(). This is because VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS does not work with huge pages yet.
