mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: introduce the name HVO 

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced. 
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.

This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].

Control if HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO) is enabled.
Allows heavy hugetlb users to free up some more
memory (7 * PAGE_SIZE for each 2MB hugetlb page).
Format: { [oO][Nn]/Y/y/1 | [oO][Ff]/N/n/0 (default) }
Format: { on | off (default) }
[oO][Nn]/Y/y/1: enable the feature
[oO][Ff]/N/n/0: disable the feature
on: enable HVO
off: disable HVO
Built with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_DEFAULT_ON=y,
the default is on.

=======
This section is to explain how HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO) works.
The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
page frame. By default, there is a one-to-one mapping from a page frame to
it's corresponding page struct.
