[PATCH v2 2/3] mm/hugetlb: use get_page_unless_zero() in hugetlb_fault()

[Naoya Horiguchi]

After fixing locking in follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages, I start to
observe the BUG of "get_page() on refcount 0 page" in hugetlb_fault() in
the same test.

I'm not exactly sure about how this race is triggered, but hugetlb_fault()
calls pte_page() and get_page() outside page table lock, so it's not safe.
This patch checks the refcount of the gotten page, and aborts the page fault
if the refcount is 0, expecting to retry.
