[PATCH v3 0/3] A Solution to Re-enable hugetlb vmemmap optimize

HVO was previously disabled on arm64 [1] due to the lack of necessary
BBM(break-before-make) logic when changing page tables.
This set of patches fix this by adding necessary BBM sequence when
changing page table, and supporting vmemmap page fault handling to
fixup kernel address translation fault if vmemmap is concurrently accessed.

I have tested this patch set with concurrently accessing the vmemmap
address when do BBM and can recover by vmemmap fault handler. Also
tested under the config of 2/3/4 pgtable levels with 4K/64K page size
and all works well.

V3:
Cleanup:
Move the declarations of helper function in proper head file.

V2:
This version mainly changes some naming, and uses more appropriate helper
functions to make the code more clean, according to review comments from
Muchun Song and Kefeng Wang.
