x86/mm: Disable hugetlb page table sharing on 32-bit
Only select ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE on 64-bit x86. Page table sharing requires at least three levels because it involves shared references to PMD tables; 32-bit x86 has either two-level paging (without PAE) or three-level paging (with PAE), but even with three-level paging, having a dedicated PGD entry for hugetlb is only barely possible (because the PGD only has four entries), and it seems unlikely anyone's actually using PMD sharing on 32-bit. Having ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE enabled on non-PAE 32-bit X86 (which has 2-level paging) became particularly problematic after commit 59d9094df3d7 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count"), since that changes `struct ptdesc` such that the `pt_mm` (for PGDs) and the `pt_share_count` (for PMDs) share the same union storage - and with 2-level paging, PMDs are PGDs. (For comparison, arm64 also gates ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE on the configuration of page tables such that it is never enabled with 2-level paging.)
