Subject: hugetlbfs: fix page leak during migration of file pages

Files can be created and mapped in an explicitly mounted hugetlbfs
filesystem.  If pages in such files are migrated, the filesystem usage
will not be decremented for the associated pages.  This can result in mmap
or page allocation failures as it appears there are fewer pages in the
filesystem than there should be.

For example, a test program which hole punches, faults and migrates pages
in such a file (1G in size) will eventually fail because it can not
allocate a page.  Reported counts and usage at time of failure:

node0
537	free_hugepages
1024	nr_hugepages
0	surplus_hugepages
node1
1000	free_hugepages
1024	nr_hugepages
0	surplus_hugepages

Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
nodev                              4.0G  4.0G     0 100% /var/opt/hugepool

Note that the filesystem shows 4G of pages used, while actual usage is 511
pages (just under 1G).  Failed trying to allocate page 512.

If a hugetlb page is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem,
this information in contained in the page_private field.  At migration
time, this information is not preserved.  To fix, simply transfer
page_private from old to new page at migration time if necessary.  Also,
migrate_page_states() unconditionally clears page_private and PagePrivate
of the old page.  It is unlikely, but possible that these fields could be
non-NULL and are needed at hugetlb free page time.  So, do not touch these
fields for hugetlb pages.
