Use module_alloc_huge for bpf_prog_pack so that BPF programs sit on
PMD_SIZE pages. This benefits system performance by reducing iTLB miss
rate. Benchmark of a real web service workload shows this change gives
another ~0.2% performance boost on top of PAGE_SIZE bpf_prog_pack
(which improve system throughput by ~0.5%).

Also, remove set_vm_flush_reset_perms() from alloc_new_pack() and use
set_memory_[nx|rw] in bpf_prog_pack_free(). This is because
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS does not work with huge pages yet. [1]
