Subject: [PATCH v17 4/9] mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page

When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we should allocate
the vmemmap pages associated with it. But we may cannot allocate vmemmap
pages when the system is under memory pressure, in this case, we just
refuse to free the HugeTLB page instead of looping forever trying to
allocate the pages. This changes some behavior (list below) on some
corner cases.

 1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages).

    Need try again later by the user.

 2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application.

    Try again later when freeing a huge page next time.

 3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via
    offline_pages().

    This is a bit unfortunate if we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory
    but are low on kernel memory. For example, migration of huge pages
    would still work, however, dissolving the free page does not work.
    This is a corner cases. When the system is that much under memory
    pressure, offlining/unplug can be expected to fail. This is
    unfortunate because it prevents from the memory offlining which
    shouldn't happen for movable zones. People depending on the memory
    hotplug and movable zone should carefuly consider whether savings
    on unmovable memory are worth losing their hotplug functionality
    in some situations.

 4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via
    alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly
    affects CMA and virtio-mem.

    Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully.
    CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA
    region.

Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for
those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer)
__GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation
because a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail
too easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access
memory reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming
reserves under heavy hugetlb freeing.
