Yu Zhao cf54f310d0 mm/hugetlb: use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios
Use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios to greatly reduce not only the amount
of code but also the allocation and free time.

LOC (approximately): +60, -240

Allocate and free 500 1GB hugeTLB memory without HVO by:
  time echo 500 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
  time echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

       Before  After
Alloc  ~13s    ~10s
Free   ~15s    <1s

The above magnitude generally holds for multiple x86 and arm64 CPU models.
