[RFC PATCH v2 4/5] hugetlb: parallelize 2M hugetlb allocation and initialization

[Gang Li]

By distributing both the allocation and the initialization tasks across
multiple threads, the initialization of 2M hugetlb will be faster,
thereby improving the boot speed.

This patch can achieve 60% improvement in performance.
