Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: set hugetlb page flag before optimizing vmemmap

Currently, vmemmap optimization of hugetlb pages is performed before the
hugetlb flag (previously hugetlb destructor) is set identifying it as a
hugetlb folio.  This means there is a window of time where an ordinary
folio does not have all associated vmemmap present.  The core mm only
expects vmemmap to be potentially optimized for hugetlb  and device dax.
This can cause problems in code such as memory error handling that may
want to write to tail struct pages.

There is only one call to perform hugetlb vmemmap optimization today.
To fix this issue, simply set the hugetlb flag before that call.

There was a similar issue in the free hugetlb path that was previously
addressed.  The two routines that optimize or restore hugetlb vmemmap
should only be passed hugetlb folios/pages.  To catch any callers not
following this rule, add VM_WARN_ON calls to the routines.  In the
hugetlb free code paths, some calls could be made to restore vmemmap
after clearing the hugetlb flag.  This was 'safe' as in these cases
vmemmap was already present and the call was a NOOP.  However, for
consistency these calls where eliminated so that we can add the
VM_WARN_ON checks.
