This patch changes the behavior of user API, so please update manpage of
fallocate(2).

We have round_up/round_up macro, so please use them here.
Then, it's self-descriptive, so you don't have to write comment.

Why is this casting to u64 necessary?

Maybe '|' isn't necessary.

avoid_reserve is referred only once and never changed, so no need to use
the variable?

Don't you need mpol_cond_put() here?

Note that recently I added page_huge_active() to mark activeness of hugepages,
so when you rebased to v4.1-rc1+, please insert set_page_huge_active(page) here.

This looks unclear to me. Which "count" do you refer to in the comment
"no use count was added to the subpool" or "the count is not decremented"?
I guess spool->used_hpages or spool->rsv_hpages, but alloc_huge_page() above
should call hugepage_subpool_get_pages(), so it's accounted, right?
Could you write comments more specifically?
