[PATCH v1 0/4] mm: move vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() out of hugetlb.c

Looking into vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize(), I realized that there is one
scenario where DAX would not do the right thing when the kernel is
not compiled with hugetlb support.

Without hugetlb support, vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() will always return
PAGE_SIZE instead of using the ->pagesize() result provided by dax-device
code.

Fix that by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to core MM code, where it belongs.
I don't think this is stable material, but am not 100% sure.

Also, move vma_mmu_pagesize() while at it. Remove the unnecessary hugetlb.h
inclusion from KVM code.

Cross-compiled heavily.
