x86/mm: Simplify enabling direct_gbpages

Browse Source 
direct_gbpages can be force enabled as an early parameter
but not really have taken effect when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
or KMEMCHECK is enabled. You can also enable direct_gbpages
right now if you have an x86_64 architecture but your CPU
doesn't really have support for this feature. In both cases
PG_LEVEL_1G won't actually be enabled but direct_gbpages is used
in other areas under the assumptions that PG_LEVEL_1G
was set. Fix this by putting together all requirements
which make this feature sensible to enable under, and only
enable both finally flipping on PG_LEVEL_1G and leaving
PG_LEVEL_1G set when this is true.

We only enable this feature then to be possible on sensible
builds defined by the new ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES. If the
CPU has support for it you can either enable this by using
the DIRECT_GBPAGES option or using the early kernel parameter.
If a platform had support for this you can always force disable
it as well.

Allow the kernel linear mapping to use 1GB pages on CPUs that
support it. This can improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit by
reducing TLB pressure. If in doubt, say "Y".
Enable by default the kernel linear mapping to use 1GB pages on CPUs
that support it. This can improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit
by reducing TLB pressure. If in doubt, say "Y". If you've disabled
option but your platform is capable of handling support for this
you can use the gbpages kernel parameter. Likewise if you've enabled
this but you'd like to force disable this option you can use the
nogbpages kernel parameter.
