drm/panfrost: Introduce huge tmpfs mountpoint option

Introduce the 'panfrost.transparent_hugepage' boolean module parameter
(false by default). When the parameter is set to true, a new tmpfs
mountpoint is created and mounted using the 'huge=within_size'
option. It's then used at GEM object creation instead of the default
'shm_mnt' mountpoint 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

v4:
- fix builds with CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n
- clean up mountpoint creation error handling
- print negative error value

v5:
- use drm_gem_has_huge_tmp() helper
- get rid of CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE ifdefs

v9:
- replace drm_gem_has_huge_tmp() by drm_gem_get_huge_tmp()

v11:
- enable 'panfrost.transparent_hugepage' by default
