I was about to suggest to get rid of the else branch because on x86_64
we can only allocate PMD_SIZE chunks when using an alternative allocator,
meaning that anything which is not a pmd_leaf can't be a PageVmemmapSelfHosted.

But then I went to check the other platform that supports memmap_on_memory (arm64),
and in there I can see that we fallback to populate basepages with altmap should
we fail to allocate a PMD_SIZE chunk.
