Subject: [PATCH 06/30] mm/hugetlb: Add missing annotation for gather_surplus_pages()

Sparse reports a warning at gather_surplus_pages()

warning: context imbalance in hugetlb_cow() - unexpected unlock

The root cause is the missing annotation at gather_surplus_pages()
Add the missing __must_hold(&hugetlb_lock)
