[PATCH 41/49] mm/sparse: simplify section_vmemmap_pages()

After unifying DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap optimizations, we can now
simplify section_vmemmap_pages().

Previously, section_vmemmap_pages() needed to take altmap and pgmap
arguments to determine if vmemmap optimization was enabled. However,
sparse_add_section() already sets the section order using
section_set_order(ms, pgmap->vmemmap_shift) if vmemmap_can_optimize()
is true and the size is aligned to PAGES_PER_SECTION.

As a result, section_vmemmap_optimizable(ms) is sufficient to determine
if the section can be optimized, and section_order(ms) can directly
provide the order, making the altmap and pgmap arguments redundant.

Remove the unused altmap and pgmap arguments from
section_vmemmap_pages().
