powerpc/book3s64/vmemmap: switch radix to use a different vmemmap handling function
This is in preparation to update radix to implement vmemmap optimization for devdax. Below are the rules w.r.t radix vmemmap mapping 1. First try to map things using PMD (2M) 2. With altmap if altmap cross-boundary check returns true, fall back to PAGE_SIZE 3. If we can't allocate PMD_SIZE backing memory for vmemmap, fallback to PAGE_SIZE On removing vmemmap mapping, check if every subsection that is using the vmemmap area is invalid. If found to be invalid, that implies we can safely free the vmemmap area. We don't use the PAGE_UNUSED pattern used by x86 because with 64K page size, we need to do the above check even at the PAGE_SIZE granularity.
