I wonder whether this is needed, and whether hugetlb_acct_memory() needs to
be exported in the other patch.

IIUC subpools manages the global reservation on its own when min_pages is
set (which should be gmem's case, where both max/min set to gmem size).
That's in hugepage_put_subpool() -> unlock_or_release_subpool().
