Subject: [PATCH] mm: hugetlb: Only prep and add allocated folios for non-gigantic pages

Calling prep_and_add_allocated_folios when allocating gigantic pages
at boot time causes the kernel to crash as folio_list is empty
and iterating it causes a NULL pointer dereference. Call this only
for non-gigantic pages when folio_list has entires.

Fixes: bfb41d6b2fe148 ("hugetlb: restructure pool allocations")
