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.
