Subject: [PATCH V3 1/4] hugetlbfs: add minimum size tracking fields to subpool structure

Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum
number of huge pages to always be used by this subpool.  This
minimum count includes allocated pages as well as reserved pages.
If the minimum number of pages for the subpool have not been
allocated, pages are reserved up to this minimum.  An additional
field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of pages reserved
to meet this minimum size.  The hstate pointer in the subpool
is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.
