[PATCH v6 03/13] mm/vmemmap: Improve vmemmap_can_optimize and allow architectures to override

dax vmemmap optimization requires a minimum of 2 PAGE_SIZE area within
vmemmap such that tail page mapping can point to the second PAGE_SIZE area.
Enforce that in vmemmap_can_optimize() function.

Architectures like powerpc also want to enable vmemmap optimization
conditionally (only with radix MMU translation). Hence allow architecture
override.
