arm64/mm: add fallback option to allocate virtually contiguous memory
When section mappings are enabled, we allocate vmemmap pages from
physically continuous memory of size PMD_SIZE using
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(). Section mappings are good to reduce TLB
pressure. But when system is highly fragmented and memory blocks are
being hot-added at runtime, its possible that such physically continuous
memory allocations can fail. Rather than failing the memory hot-add
procedure, add a fallback option to allocate vmemmap pages from
discontinuous pages using vmemmap_populate_basepages().
