hugetlb: support boot allocate different sizes

Make some infrastructure changes to allow boot-time allocation of
different hugepage page sizes.

- move all basic hstate initialisation into hugetlb_add_hstate
- create a new function hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages() to do the
  actual initial page allocations. Call this function early in
  order to allocate giant pages from bootmem.
- Check for multiple hugepages= parameters
