[PATCH v4 5/5] hugetlb: add hugetlb demote page support

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Thu Oct 07 2021 - 14:20:11 EST


Demote page functionality will split a huge page into a number of huge
pages of a smaller size. For example, on x86 a 1GB huge page can be
demoted into 512 2M huge pages. Demotion is done 'in place' by simply
splitting the huge page.

Added '*_for_demote' wrappers for remove_hugetlb_page,
destroy_compound_gigantic_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page for use
by demote code.
