[PATCH] hugetlb_no_page might break hugetlb quota

From: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

In function hugetlb_no_page, backout path always calls hugetlb_put_quota.
It's incorrect when find_lock_page gets the page or the new page is added
into page cache.

In addition, if the vma->vm_flags doesn't include VM_SHARED, the quota
shouldn't be decreased.

My patch against 2.6.16-rc5-mm2 fixes it.
