Muchun Song 2da1c30929 mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: delete hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled()

Patch series "Simplify hugetlb vmemmap and improve its readability", v2.

This series aims to simplify hugetlb vmemmap and improve its readability.


This patch (of 8):

The name hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() a bit confusing as it tests
two conditions (enabled and pages in use).  Instead of coming up to an
appropriate name, we could just delete it.  There is already a discussion
about deleting it in thread [1].

There is only one user of hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() outside of
hugetlb_vmemmap, that is flush_dcache_page() in arch/arm64/mm/flush.c. 
However, it does not need to call hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled() in
flush_dcache_page() since HugeTLB pages are always fully mapped and only
head page will be set PG_dcache_clean meaning only head page's flag may
need to be cleared (see commit cf5a501d985b).  So it is easy to remove
hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_enabled().
