Subject: hugetlb: optimize update_and_free_pages_bulk to avoid lock cycles
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 15:09:42 -0700

update_and_free_pages_bulk is designed to free a list of hugetlb pages
back to their associated lower level allocators.  This may require
allocating vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page.  The hugetlb
page destructor must be changed before pages are freed to lower level
allocators.  However, the destructor must be changed under the hugetlb
lock.  This means there is potentially one lock cycle per page.

Minimize the number of lock cycles in update_and_free_pages_bulk by:
1) allocating necessary vmemmap for all hugetlb pages on the list
2) take hugetlb lock and clear destructor for all pages on the list
3) free all pages on list back to low level allocators
