hugetlb: override default huge page size
Allow configurations with the default huge page size which is different to
the traditional HPAGE_SIZE size. The default huge page size is the one
represented in the legacy /proc ABIs, SHM, and which is defaulted to when
mounting hugetlbfs filesystems.
This is implemented with a new kernel option default_hugepagesz=, which
defaults to HPAGE_SIZE if not specified.
