[RFC PATCH v2 5/5] hugetlb: parallelize 1G hugetlb initialization

[Gang Li <gang.li@linux.dev>]

Optimizing the initialization speed of 1G huge pages through
parallelization.

1G hugetlbs are allocated from bootmem, a process that is already
very fast and does not currently require optimization. Therefore,
we focus on parallelizing only the initialization phase in
`gather_bootmem_prealloc`.

This patch can achieve 40%-50% improvement in performance.
