[PATCH 12/16] mm/vmemmap optimization: Split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization

Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap
optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to read-only)
and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not supported without
unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some architectures.

With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and
architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb vmemmap
optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into a different
config.

loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is not enabled
for them. With this change, arm64 should be able to select DAX optimization

[1] commit 060a2c92d1b6 ("arm64: mm: hugetlb: Disable HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP")
