Subject: [PATCH v20 6/9] mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page

When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate
the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to
allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In
this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior
in some corner cases as listed below:

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

    User needs to try again later.

 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 can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but
    not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages.  We may even
    be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to
    dissolve the source huge page.  This will prevent an offline
    operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to
    succeed on movable zones.  Users that depend on memory hotplug
    to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the
    memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of
    possibly not being able to offline memory in certain 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.
