Ironically that user space check isn't necessary any more since David
Gibson's fix for the hugetlbfs bug went in (90481622, "hugepages: fix
use after free bug in "quota" handling").  So on sufficiently recent
kernels you can just remove the userspace check.  Implementing
mmu-notifiers is a good thing for other reasons though.
