A small nit, after this patch, uffd_setup_hugetlb() can return 0 in 2 cases:

a) default_huge_page_size() == 0
b) hugetlb_free_default_pages() < nr_hugepages

The skip message only covers the first case and would be misleading for
the second case. Should we differentiate both these using different skip
messages?
