Introduce the 'panthor.transparent_hugepage' boolean module parameter
(false by default). When the parameter is set to true, a new tmpfs
mount point is created and mounted using the 'huge=within_size'
option. It's then used at GEM object creation instead of the default
'shm_mnt' mount point in order to enable Transparent Hugepage (THP)
for the object (without having to rely on a system wide parameter).
v3:
- use huge tmpfs mountpoint in drm_device
