[RFC PATCH v2 11/47] hugetlb: add hugetlb_pmd_alloc and hugetlb_pte_alloc

[James Houghton]

These functions are used to allocate new PTEs below the hstate PTE. This
will be used by hugetlb_walk_step, which implements stepping forwards in
a HugeTLB high-granularity page table walk.

The reasons that we don't use the standard pmd_alloc/pte_alloc*
functions are:
 1) This prevents us from accidentally overwriting swap entries or
    attempting to use swap entries as present non-leaf PTEs (see
    pmd_alloc(); we assume that !pte_none means pte_present and
    non-leaf).
 2) Locking hugetlb PTEs can different than regular PTEs. (Although, as
    implemented right now, locking is the same.)
 3) We can maintain compatibility with CONFIG_HIGHPTE. That is, HugeTLB
    HGM won't use HIGHPTE, but the kernel can still be built with it,
    and other mm code will use it.

When GENERAL_HUGETLB supports P4D-based hugepages, we will need to
implement hugetlb_pud_alloc to implement hugetlb_walk_step.
