[PATCH v5 0/3] Consolidate memory policy interpretation in alloc_hugetlb_folio()

[Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay]

This patch series is the first 3 patches, split out from "Open HugeTLB
allocation routine for more generic use" [1].

I'm splitting these 3 patches into this separate series, and continuing as
v5 from [1] to avoid being blocked on addressing pre-existing
bugs. (Sashiko's reviews on [1] revealed quite a few pre-existing bugs,
which is separately being addressed in [2].)

These 3 patches have been reviewed and can be merged first. (Thank you
Andrew!) The other 3 patches in [1] will probably build on [2], so I'd like
to leave those to later.

In this v5, the only change is to the first patch - I improved the wording
of the comment just above the call to dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() in
alloc_hugetlb_folio().

Testing:

+ libhugetlbfs tests pass
+ tools/testing/selftests/mm/ksft_hugetlb.sh passes
