[PATCH v2 4/5] mm/vmalloc: Enable mapping of huge pages at pte level in vmalloc

On some architectures like powerpc, there are huge pages that
are mapped at pte level.

Enable it in vmalloc.

For that, architectures can provide arch_vmap_pte_supported_shift()
that returns the shift for pages to map at pte level.
