[PATCH v2 4/5] mm/sparse-vmemmap: drop vmemmap_can_optimize()

section_vmemmap_optimizable() can already decide whether a section uses
vmemmap optimization based on the section compound order. The DAX-specific
vmemmap_can_optimize() helper duplicates that policy, so remove it to
simplify the code.

v2:
- Ignore non-optimizable nonzero section orders while retaining zero
  as the reset value (reported by Sashiko)
- Use section_vmemmap_optimization_disable() for the altmap fallback
- Move vmemmap_optimizable_order() before its first caller
