mm/vmalloc: huge vmalloc backing pages should be split rather than compound

Browse Source 
Huge vmalloc higher-order backing pages were allocated with __GFP_COMP
in order to allow the sub-pages to be refcounted by callers such as
"remap_vmalloc_page [sic]" (remap_vmalloc_range).

However a similar problem exists for other struct page fields callers
use, for example fb_deferred_io_fault() takes a vmalloc'ed page and
not only refcounts it but uses ->lru, ->mapping, ->index.

This is not compatible with compound sub-pages, and can cause bad page
state issues like

The correct approach is to use split high-order pages for the huge
vmalloc backing. These allow callers to treat them in exactly the same
way as individually-allocated order-0 pages.
