[PATCH v6 2/8] mm: vmalloc: don't account for number of nodes for HUGE_VMAP allocations

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt at kernel.org>

vmalloc allocations with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP that do not explicitly
specify node ID will use huge pages only if size_per_node is larger than
a huge page.
Still the actual allocated memory is not distributed between nodes and
there is no advantage in such approach.
On the contrary, BPF allocates SZ_2M * num_possible_nodes() for each
new bpf_prog_pack, while it could do with a single huge page per pack.

Don't account for number of nodes for VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP with
NUMA_NO_NODE and use huge pages whenever the requested allocation size
is larger than a huge page.
