hugetlb: code clean for hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages
Patch series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot", v6.
Introduction
------------
Hugetlb initialization during boot takes up a considerable amount of time.
For instance, on a 2TB system, initializing 1,800 1GB huge pages takes
1-2 seconds out of 10 seconds. Initializing 11,776 1GB pages on a 12TB
Intel host takes more than 1 minute[1]. This is a noteworthy figure.
Inspired by [2] and [3], hugetlb initialization can also be accelerated
through parallelization. Kernel already has infrastructure like
padata_do_multithreaded, this patch uses it to achieve effective results
by minimal modifications.

max_threads
-----------
This patch use `padata_do_multithreaded` like this:
```
job.max_threads = num_node_state(N_MEMORY) * multiplier;
padata_do_multithreaded(&job);
```
To fully utilize the CPU, the number of parallel threads needs to be
carefully considered. `max_threads = num_node_state(N_MEMORY)` does not
fully utilize the CPU, so we need to multiply it by a multiplier.
Tests below indicate that a multiplier of 2 significantly improves
performance, and although larger values also provide improvements, the
gains are marginal.
multiplier 1 2 3 4 5
------------ ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
256G 2node 358ms 215ms 157ms 134ms 126ms
2T 4node 979ms 679ms 543ms 489ms 481ms
50G 2node 71ms 44ms 37ms 30ms 31ms
Therefore, choosing 2 as the multiplier strikes a good balance between
enhancing parallel processing capabilities and maintaining efficient
resource management.

This patch (of 8):
The readability of `hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages` is poor. By cleaning the
code, its readability can be improved, facilitating future modifications.
This patch extracts two functions to reduce the complexity of
`hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages` and has no functional changes.
- hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages_node_specific() to handle iterates through
each online node and performs allocation if necessary.
- hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages_report() report error during allocation.
And the value of h->max_huge_pages is updated accordingly.
