The section-based vmemmap optimization infrastructure is still guarded by
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP, but it also can be used by device
DAX. Introduce CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_OPTIMIZATION as a common config
for the shared infrastructure.

Select the new option from HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP and from
DEV_DAX when the architecture opts in to DAX vmemmap optimization, and
use it to guard the generic sparse-vmemmap state and helpers.

As sashiko was concerned about [1], it seems we need to add

         depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

here.

Apart from that, LGTM. With this fix included:
