Sorry, it is reasonable to continue to optimize the vmemmap pages
subsequently since it should succeed because those vmemmap pages
have been split successfully previously.

Seems we should continue to optimize vmemmap once hugetlb_vmemmap_split()
fails, then we will have more memory to continue to split. But it will
make hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios() a little complex. I'd like to
hear you guys' opinions here.

Thanks.
