Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/hugetlb: fix total hugetlbfs pages count when memory overcommit accouting

Changelog:
 v1 -> v2:
  * update patch description, spotted by Michal

hugetlb_total_pages() does not account for all the supported hugepage
sizes. This can lead to incorrect calculation of the total number of
page frames used by hugetlb. This patch corrects the issue.

Testcase:
boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1
before patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit:     55434168 kB
after patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit:     54909880 kB
