Nicholas Piggin c0eb315ad9 mm/vmalloc: fix HUGE_VMAP regression by enabling huge pages in vmalloc_to_page
vmalloc_to_page returns NULL for addresses mapped by larger pages[*].
Whether or not a vmap is huge depends on the architecture details,
alignments, boot options, etc., which the caller can not be expected to
know.  Therefore HUGE_VMAP is a regression for vmalloc_to_page.

This change teaches vmalloc_to_page about larger pages, and returns the
struct page that corresponds to the offset within the large page.  This
makes the API agnostic to mapping implementation details.

[*] As explained by commit 029c54b095 ("mm/vmalloc.c: huge-vmap:
    fail gracefully on unexpected huge vmap mappings")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
