x86/mm: Disable 1GB direct mappings when disabling 2MB mappings

The kmemleak and debug_pagealloc features both disable using huge pages for
direct mappings so they can do cpa() on page level granularity in any context.

However they only do that for 2MB pages, which means 1GB pages can still be
used if the CPU supports it, unless disabled by a boot param, which is
non-obvious. Disable also 1GB pages when disabling 2MB pages.
