Subject: mm/sparse-vmemmap: move helpers ahead of future callers
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:45:58 +0800

Prepare for section-based vmemmap optimization by moving helpers that
follow-up changes will use.  vmemmap_get_tail() will be called from the
PTE population path.  section_nr_vmemmap_pages() will be made visible
outside the memory hotplug code and called from sparse_init_nid().

Move vmemmap_alloc_block_zero() together with vmemmap_get_tail(), since
the tail helper depends on it.  Move section_nr_vmemmap_pages() earlier
into its own CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG block.  That lets the later patch
change its visibility and callers without also moving the function body.

No functional change is intended.
