x86/mm: Further simplify 1 GB kernel linear mappings handling
It's a bit pointless to allow Kconfig configuration for 1GB kernel
mappings, it's already hidden behind a 'default y' and CONFIG_EXPERT.
Remove this complication and simplify the code by renaming
CONFIG_ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES to CONFIG_X86_DIRECT_GBPAGES and
document the DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and KMEMCHECK quirks.
