Update the hugetlb_vmemmap_restore path to take a 'batch' parameter that
indicates restoration is happening on a batch of pages. When set, use
the existing mechanism (VMEMMAP_REMAP_BULK_PAGES) to delay TLB flushing.
The routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios is the only user of this new
batch parameter and it will perform a global flush after all vmemmap is
restored.

I'd like to let vmemmap_remap_alloc pass VMEMMAP_REMAP_BULK_PAGES directly,
in which case, we do not need to change this function if we want to introduce
another flag in the future. I mean that change "bool bulk" to "unsigned long flags".

The same as here.

Pass VMEMMAP_REMAP_BULK_PAGES directly here.

Thanks.
