It is needed 4095 pages(1G) or 7 pages(2M) to be allocated once in
alloc_vmemmap_page_list(), so let's add a bulk allocator varietas
alloc_pages_bulk_list_node() and switch alloc_vmemmap_page_list()
to use it to accelerate page allocation.
Simple test on arm64's qemu with 1G Hugetlb, 870,842ns vs 3,845,252ns
despite the fluctuations, it is still a nice improvement.
