Subject: [PATCH v2 08/19] mm/hugetlb: Defer freeing of hugetlb pages
In the subsequent patch, we will allocate the vmemmap pages when free
huge pages. But update_and_free_page() is be called from a non-task
context(and hold hugetlb_lock), we can defer the actual freeing in
a workqueue to prevent use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages.
