mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_bad_size()

When any unsupported hugepage size is specified, 'hugepagesz=' and
'hugepages=' should be ignored during command line parsing until any
supported hugepage size is found.  But currently incorrect number of
hugepages are allocated when unsupported size is specified as it fails
to ignore the 'hugepages=' command.

Test case:

Note that this is specific to x86 architecture.

Boot the kernel with command line option 'hugepagesz=256M hugepages=X'.
After boot, dmesg output shows that X number of hugepages of the size 2M
is pre-allocated instead of 0.

So, to handle such command line options, introduce new routine
hugetlb_bad_size.  The routine hugetlb_bad_size sets the global variable
parsed_valid_hugepagesz.  We are using parsed_valid_hugepagesz to save
the state when unsupported hugepagesize is found so that we can ignore
the 'hugepages=' parameters after that and then reset the variable when
supported hugepage size is found.

The routine hugetlb_bad_size can be called while setting 'hugepagesz='
parameter in an architecture specific code.
