vmalloc_to_page returns NULL for addresses mapped by larger pages[*].
Whether or not a vmap is huge depends on the architecture details,
alignments, boot options, etc., which the caller can not be expected
to know. Therefore HUGE_VMAP is a regression for vmalloc_to_page.

This change teaches vmalloc_to_page about larger pages, and returns
the struct page that corresponds to the offset within the large page.
This makes the API agnostic to mapping implementation details.

[*] As explained by commit 029c54b095995 ("mm/vmalloc.c: huge-vmap:
    fail gracefully on unexpected huge vmap mappings")

The warning here is a required addition but it needs to be moved after p4d_large()

pud_bad() on arm64 returns true when the PUD does not point to a next page
table page implying the fact that it might be a large/huge entry. I am not
sure if the semantics holds good for other architectures too. But on arm64
if pud_large() is true, then pud_bad() will be true as well. So pud_bad()
check must happen after pud_large() check. So the sequence here should be

1. pud_none()	--> Nothing is in here, return NULL
2. pud_large()	--> Return offset page address from the huge page mapping
3. pud_bad()	--> Return NULL as there is no more page table level left

Checking pud_bad() first can return NULL for a valid huge mapping.
 	pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
-	WARN_ON_ONCE(pmd_bad(*pmd));

Ditto.

I see that your previous proposal had this right which got changed in this
manner after my comments. Sorry about it.

It was recently when I learned (correctly) that expected semantics of pxx_bad()
is that - It does not point to the next page table page.  Hence I wonder why is
this not renamed as pxx_table() instead to make it absolutely clear.
