vmalloc: replace VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP

Huge page backed vmalloc memory could benefit performance in many cases.
However, some users of vmalloc may not be ready to handle huge pages for
various reasons: hardware constraints, potential pages split, etc.
VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP was introduced to allow vmalloc users to opt-out huge
pages.  However, it is not easy to track down all the users that require
the opt-out, as the allocation are passed different stacks and may cause
issues in different layers.

To address this issue, replace VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP with an opt-in flag,
VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP, so that users that benefit from huge pages could ask
specificially.

Also, remove vmalloc_no_huge() and add opt-in helper vmalloc_huge().

Fixes: fac54e2b
