Re: [PATCH v4 4/8] hugetlb: perform vmemmap restoration on a list of pages

The routine update_and_free_pages_bulk already performs vmemmap
restoration on the list of hugetlb pages in a separate step. In
preparation for more functionality to be added in this step, create a
new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios() that will restore
vmemmap for a list of folios.
This new routine must provide sufficient feedback about errors and
actual restoration performed so that update_and_free_pages_bulk can
perform optimally.

I still think we should free a non-optimized HugeTLB page if we
encounter an OOM situation instead of continue to restore
vemmmap pages. Restoring vmemmmap pages will only aggravate
the OOM situation. The suitable appraoch is to free a non-optimized
HugeTLB page to satisfy our allocation of vmemmap pages, what's
your opinion, Mike?
Thanks.
