From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>
Subject: hugetlb: change free_pool_huge_page to remove_pool_huge_page

free_pool_huge_page was called with hugetlb_lock held.  It would remove a
hugetlb page, and then free the corresponding pages to the lower level
allocators such as buddy.  free_pool_huge_page was called in a loop to
remove hugetlb pages and these loops could hold the hugetlb_lock for a
considerable time.

Create new routine remove_pool_huge_page to replace free_pool_huge_page. 
remove_pool_huge_page will remove the hugetlb page, and it must be called
with the hugetlb_lock held.  It will return the removed page and it is the
responsibility of the caller to free the page to the lower level
allocators.  The hugetlb_lock is dropped before freeing to these
allocators which results in shorter lock hold times.

Add new helper routine to call update_and_free_page for a list of pages.

Note: Some changes to the routine return_unused_surplus_pages are in need
of explanation.  Commit e5bbc8a6c992 ("mm/hugetlb.c: fix reservation race
when freeing surplus pages") modified this routine to address a race which
could occur when dropping the hugetlb_lock in the loop that removes pool
pages.  Accounting changes introduced in that commit were subtle and took
some thought to understand.  This commit removes the cond_resched_lock()
and the potential race.  Therefore, remove the subtle code and restore the
more straight forward accounting effectively reverting the commit.
