Let's limit the maximum folio size in problematic kernel config where

SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP) to a single memory section.

Currently, only a single architectures supports ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE
but not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP: sh.

Fortunately, the biggest hugetlb size sh supports is 64 MiB
(HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_64MB) and the section size is at least 64 MiB
(SECTION_SIZE_BITS == 26), so their use case is not degraded.

As folios and memory sections are naturally aligned to their order-2 size
in memory, consequently a single folio can no longer span multiple memory
sections on these problematic kernel configs.

nth_page() is no longer required when operating within a single compound
page / folio.
