Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Fix use after free when subpool max_hpages accounting is not enabled

When subpool max_hpages accounting is not enabled, used_hpages is always 0
and might lead to release subpool prematurely because it indicates no pages
are used now while there might be.

In order to fix this issue, we should check used_hpages == 0 iff max_hpages
accounting is enabled. As max_hpages accounting should be enabled in most
common case, this is not worth a Cc stable.
