Subject: [PATCH v8 05/12] mm/hugetlb: Defer freeing of HugeTLB pages
In the subsequent patch, we will allocate the vmemmap pages when free
HugeTLB pages. But update_and_free_page() is called from a non-task
context(and hold hugetlb_lock), so we can defer the actual freeing in
a workqueue to prevent use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages.
