[PATCH v7 2/7] arm64/vmalloc: Allow arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size to batch multiple CONT_PTE

From: "Barry Song (Xiaomi)" <baohua at kernel.org>

Allow arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size to batch across multiple CONT_PTE
blocks, reducing both PTE setup and TLB flush iterations.

For CONT_PTE_SIZE-aligned ranges, return a power-of-two mapping size that
may cover multiple CONT_PTE blocks, capped below PMD_SIZE. These sizes
are vmalloc mapping spans, not HugeTLB hstate sizes.
