Currently, hugetlb_cma reservation only supports absolute sizes (e.g.,
hugetlb_cma=2G or hugetlb_cma=0:1G,1:1G). This can be restrictive in
heterogeneous environments or when deploying common kernel command lines
across machines with different memory capacities.
Add support for percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservation (e.g.,
hugetlb_cma=20% or hugetlb_cma=0:20%,1:10%).
The percentage is calculated against the total memory (for global
settings) or against the node-specific memory (for node-specific
settings) using memblock APIs during early boot.

v5:
- Document in kernel-parameters.txt that percentage-derived sizes are rounded down to a multiple of the gigantic hugepage size and may become zero (Usama Arif).
- Add Acked-by: Usama Arif <usama.arif@linux.dev>.
v4:
- Clear global hugetlb_cma_percent and hugetlb_cma_size when node-specific parameters are parsed so the last command line configuration wins (Usama Arif).
- Warn when ALIGN_DOWN rounds down a non-zero percentage-derived reservation size to 0 MiB (Usama Arif).
v3:
- Enhance pr_info logs to explicitly show percentage-derived sizes per Andrew Morton's suggestions.
- Explicitly align percentage-derived sizes down to the gigantic page size to prevent allocation failures (Usama Arif).
