As reported by Ackerley[1], the use of page_cache_next_miss() in
hugetlbfs_fallocate() introduces a bug where a second fallocate() call to
same offset fails with -EEXIST. Revert this change and go back to the
previous method of using get from the page cache and then dropping the
reference on success.
hugetlbfs_pagecache_present() was also refactored to use
page_cache_next_miss(), revert the usage there as well.
User visible impacts include hugetlb fallocate incorrectly returning
EEXIST if pages are already present in the file. In addition, hugetlb
pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to be brought in via
GUP. userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY also uses this code and will not notice pages
already present in the cache. It may try to allocate a new page and
potentially return ENOMEM as opposed to EEXIST.

This patch is meant to fix stable v6.3.1 as safe as possible by doing a
simple revert.
Patch page cache: fix page_cache_next/prev_miss off by one by Mike is a
potential fix that will allow the use of page_cache_next_miss() and is
awaiting review.
Patch Fix fallocate error in hugetlbfs when fallocating again by Ackerley
is another fix but introduces a new function and is also awaiting review.
