[PATCH] arm64/hugetlb: Implement arm64 specific hugetlb_mask_last_hp

The HugeTLB address ranges are linearly scanned during fork, unmap and
remap operations, and the linear scan can skip to the end of range mapped
by the page table page if hitting a non-present entry, which can help
to speed linear scanning of the HugeTLB address ranges.

So hugetlb_mask_last_hp() is introduced to help to update the address in
the loop of HugeTLB linear scanning with getting the last huge page mapped
by the associated page table page[1], when a non-present entry is encountered.

Considering ARM64 specific cont-pte/pmd size HugeTLB, this patch implemented
an ARM64 specific hugetlb_mask_last_hp() to help this case.
