Dave Hansen 099730d674 mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available
I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages
with 'nr_hugepages'.  They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let
the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time.

This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and
the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they
specified.

The code in question is this:

> struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
...
>         page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg);
>         if (!page) {
>                 page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE);

dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy.
 But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool.  If the
pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously
can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the
VMA.

Almost everybody preallocates huge pages.  That's probably why nobody has
ever noticed this.  Looking back at the git history, I don't think this
_ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in
7893d1d5, 8 years ago.

The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call
in to the buddy allocator.  It's fairly straightforward plumbing.  This
has been lightly tested.
