[PATCH 0/6] hugetlb: normalize exported interfaces to use base-page indices

This series stems from a discussion with David. [1]
The series makes a small cleanup to a few hugetlb interfaces used
outside the subsystem by standardizing them on base-page indices.
Hopefully this makes the interface semantics a bit more coherent with
the rest of mm, while the internal hugetlb code continue to use hugepage
indices where that remains the more natural fit.

It is based off mm-stable, 3/30/2026, b2c31180b9d6.
