hugetlb: allow faults to be handled under the VMA lock
Hugetlb can now safely handle faults under the VMA lock, so allow it to do
so.
This patch may cause ltp hugemmap10 to "fail". Hugemmap10 tests hugetlb
counters, and expects the counters to remain unchanged on failure to
handle a fault.
In hugetlb_no_page(), vmf_anon_prepare() may bailout with no anon_vma
under the VMA lock after allocating a folio for the hugepage. In
free_huge_folio(), this folio is completely freed on bailout iff there is
a surplus of hugetlb pages. This will remove a folio off the freelist and
decrement the number of hugepages while ltp expects these counters to
remain unchanged on failure.
Originally this could only happen due to OOM failures, but now it may also
occur after we allocate a hugetlb folio without a suitable anon_vma under
the VMA lock. This should only happen for the first freshly allocated
hugepage in this vma.
