[RFC PATCH 2/5] mm, hugetlb: integrate giga hugetlb more naturally to the allocation path

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

Gigantic hugetlb pages were ingrown to the hugetlb code as an alien
specie with a lot of special casing. The allocation path is not an
exception. Unnecessarily so to be honest. It is true that the underlying
allocator is different but that is an implementation detail.

This patch unifies the hugetlb allocation path that a prepares fresh
pool pages. alloc_fresh_gigantic_page basically copies alloc_fresh_huge_page
logic so we can move everything there. This will simplify set_max_huge_pages
which doesn't have to care about what kind of huge page we allocate.
