When gathering surplus pages, the number of needed pages is recomputed after
reacquiring hugetlb lock to catch changes in resv_huge_pages and
free_huge_pages. Plus it is recomputed with the number of newly allocated
pages involved.
Thus freeing pages could be deferred a bit to see if the final page request is
satisfied, though pages could be allocated less than needed.
