The section-based vmemmap optimization infrastructure is guarded by
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP, but it can also be used by
ZONE_DEVICE users that set dev_pagemap::vmemmap_shift.  Introduce
CONFIG_VMEMMAP_OPTIMIZATION as a common config for the shared
infrastructure.

Select the new option from HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP and from
ZONE_DEVICE when the architecture opts in to DAX vmemmap optimization,
and use it to guard the generic sparse-vmemmap state and helpers.
