Subject: [PATCH 9/9] Documentation/mm: update hugetlbfs documentation to mention alloc_hugetlb_folio

alloc_huge_page() has been renamed to alloc_hugetlb_folio() so update the
documentation which mentions alloc_huge_page(). Subpool information has
been moved from page->private to having a dedicated field in struct folio,
reflect this in the documentation.
