s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision
There is a potential bug with KVM and hugetlbfs if the hardware does not support hugepages (EDAT1). We fix this by making EDAT1 a hard requirement for hugepages and therefore removing and simplifying code. As s390, with the sw-emulated hugepages, was the only user of arch_prepare/release_hugepage I also removed theses calls from common and other architecture code. This patch (of 5): By dropping support for hugepages on machines which do not have the hardware feature EDAT1, we fix a potential s390 KVM bug. The bug would happen if a guest is backed by hugetlbfs (not supported currently), but does not get pagetables with PGSTE. This would lead to random memory overwrites.
