Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 6/7] hugetlbfs: parallelize hugetlbfs_fallocate with ktask

hugetlbfs_fallocate preallocates huge pages to back a file in a
hugetlbfs filesystem.  The time to call this function grows linearly
with size.

ktask performs well with its default thread count of 4; higher thread
counts are given for context only.

Test:    fallocate(1) a file on a hugetlbfs filesystem

The primary bottleneck for better scaling at higher thread counts is
hugetlb_fault_mutex_table[hash].  perf showed L1-dcache-loads increase
with 8 threads and again sharply with 16 threads, and a CPU counter
profile showed that 31% of the L1d misses were on
hugetlb_fault_mutex_table[hash] in the 16-thread case.
