In the subsequent patch, we should allocate the vmemmap pages when freeing a HugeTLB page. But update_and_free_page() can be called under any context, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL to allocate vmemmap pages. However, we can defer the actual freeing in a kworker to prevent from using GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages. The __update_and_free_page() is where the call to allocate vmemmmap pages will be inserted.
