[PATCH v3] mm: huge-vmap: fail gracefully on unexpected huge vmap mappings

Existing code that uses vmalloc_to_page() may assume that any
address for which is_vmalloc_addr() returns true may be passed
into vmalloc_to_page() to retrieve the associated struct page.

This is not un unreasonable assumption to make, but on architectures
that have CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP=y, it no longer holds, and we
need to ensure that vmalloc_to_page() does not go off into the weeds
trying to dereference huge PUDs or PMDs as table entries.

Given that vmalloc() and vmap() themselves never create huge
mappings or deal with compound pages at all, there is no correct
value to return in this case, so return NULL instead, and issue a
warning.

This is a followup to '[PATCH v2] mm: vmalloc: make vmalloc_to_page()
deal with PMD/PUD mappings', hence the v3. The root issue with /proc/kcore
on arm64 is now handled by '[PATCH] mm: vmalloc: simplify vread/vwrite to
use existing mappings' [1], and this patch now only complements it by
taking care of other vmalloc_to_page() users.
