[PATCH v2 1/8] mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: delete hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled()

The name hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() a bit confusing as it tests
two conditions (enabled and pages in use). Instead of coming up to
an appropriate name, we could just delete it. There is already a
discussion about deleting it in thread [1].

There is only one user of hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() outside of
hugetlb_vmemmap, that is flush_dcache_page() in arch/arm64/mm/flush.c.
However, it does not need to call hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled()
in flush_dcache_page() since HugeTLB pages are always fully mapped and
only head page will be set PG_dcache_clean meaning only head page's flag
may need to be cleared (see commit cf5a501d985b). So it is easy to
remove hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled().
