[PATCH 2/8] hugetlb: add HPageCma flag and code to free non-gigantic pages in CMA

When huge page demotion is fully implemented, gigantic pages can be
demoted to a smaller huge page size. For example, on x86 a 1G page
can be demoted to 512 2M pages. However, gigantic pages can potentially
be allocated from CMA. If a gigantic page which was allocated from CMA
is demoted, the corresponding demoted pages needs to be returned to CMA.

In order to track hugetlb pages that need to be returned to CMA, add the
hugetlb specific flag HPageCma. Flag is set when a huge page is
allocated from CMA and transferred to any demoted pages. Non-gigantic
huge page freeing code checks for the flag and takes appropriate action.

This also requires a change to CMA reservations for gigantic pages.
Currently, the 'order_per_bit' is set to the gigantic page size.
However, if gigantic pages can be demoted this needs to be set to the
order of the smallest huge page. At CMA reservation time we do not know
the size of the smallest huge page size, so use HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER.
Also, prohibit demotion to huge page sizes smaller than
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER.
