Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/hugeltb: fix potential wrong gbl_reserve value for hugetlb_acct_memory()

The resv_map could be NULL since this routine can be called in the evict
inode path for all hugetlbfs inodes. So we could have chg = 0 and this
would result in a negative value when chg - freed. This is unexpected for
hugepage_subpool_put_pages() and hugetlb_acct_memory().

Fixes: b5cec28d36f5 ("hugetlbfs: truncate_hugepages() takes a range of pages")
