  Now that batching of hugetlb vmemmap optimization processing is possible,
batch the freeing of vmemmap pages.  When freeing vmemmap pages for a
hugetlb page, we add them to a list that is freed after the entire batch
has been processed.

This enhances the ability to return contiguous ranges of memory to the
low level allocators.

Yes, it is an over-optimization that is not really necessary.
I will remove it.
