Now that batching of hugetlb vmemmap optimization processing is possible,
batch the freeing of vmemmap pages.  When freeing vmemmap pages for a
hugetlb page, we add them to a list that is freed after the entire batch
has been processed.

This enhances the ability to return contiguous ranges of memory to the
low level allocators.

I'd like to rename bulk_pages to vmemmap_pages. Always add the vmemmap
pages to this list and let the caller (hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize and
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios) to help us to free them. It will be
clear to me.

Here, always add vmemmap_pages to the list.

Use free_vmemmap_page_list to free vmemmap pages here.

Directly use __hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize and delete hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_bulk. In the future, we could rename hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize to hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folio,
then, both function names are more consistent. E.g.

  1) hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folio(): used to free one folio's vmemmap pages.   2) hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios(): used to free multiple folio's vmemmap pages.

Thanks.
