Subject: mm/sparse-vmemmap: remove SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT support
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:46:02 +0800

SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT existed only to support HugeTLB's early vmemmap
optimization setup.

Now that HugeTLB bootmem vmemmap optimization uses the common
section-based sparse-vmemmap path, the sparse initialization code no
longer needs a separate pre-initialization mechanism for vmemmap
population.

Remove the related Kconfig symbols, section flag, and empty early hook, so
present sections always go through the normal sparse setup path.
