Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: Fix hugepages_setup when deal with pernode

Hugepages can be specified to pernode since "hugetlbfs: extend
the definition of hugepages parameter to support node allocation",
but the following two problems are observed.

1) Confusing behavior is observed when both 1G and 2M hugepage
is set after "numa=off".
 cmdline hugepage settings:
  hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:3,1:3
  hugepagesz=2M hugepages=0:1024,1:1024
 results:
  HugeTLB registered 1.00 GiB page size, pre-allocated 0 pages
  HugeTLB registered 2.00 MiB page size, pre-allocated 1024 pages

2) Using invalid option values causes the entire kernel boot option
string to be reported as Unknown.
 Unknown kernel command line parameters "hugepages=0:1024,1:1024"

To fix "1)", hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages should be called even when
hugepages_setup going to invalid. To fix "2)", return 1 so that
init's environment is not polluted with kernel boot options.
