[PATCH v2] mm: hugetlb: support for shared memory policy

[Albert Huang]

From: "huangjie.albert" <huangjie.albert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

implement get/set_policy for hugetlb_vm_ops to support the shared policy
This ensures that the mempolicy of all processes sharing this huge page
file is consistent.

In some scenarios where huge pages are shared:
if we need to limit the memory usage of vm within node0, so I set qemu's
mempilciy bind to node0, but if there is a process (such as virtiofsd)
shared memory with the vm, in this case. If the page fault is triggered
by virtiofsd, the allocated memory may go to node1 which depends on
virtiofsd. Although we can use the memory prealloc provided by qemu to
avoid this issue, but this method will significantly increase the
creation time of the vm(a few seconds, depending on memory size).

after we hooked up hugetlb_vm_ops(set/get_policy):
both the shared memory segments created by shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB flag
and the mmap(MAP_SHARED|MAP_HUGETLB), also support shared policy.

v1->v2:
1、hugetlb share the memory policy when the vma with the VM_SHARED flag.
2、update the documentation.
