[PATCH v2 2/4] mm/hugetlb: Setup hugetlb_falloc during fallocate hole punch

[Mike Kravetz]

When performing a fallocate hole punch, set up a hugetlb_falloc struct
and make i_private point to it.  i_private will point to this struct for
the duration of the operation.  At the end of the operation, wake up
anyone who faulted on the hole and is on the waitq.
