[PATCH v2] Hugetlb pages should not be reserved by shmat() if SHM_NORESERVE

[Prakash Sangappa <prakash.sangappa@oracle.com>]

For shared memory of type SHM_HUGETLB, hugetlb pages are reserved in
shmget() call. If SHM_NORESERVE flags is specified then the hugetlb
pages are not reserved. However when the shared memory is attached
with the shmat() call the hugetlb pages are getting reserved incorrectly
for SHM_HUGETLB shared memory created with SHM_NORESERVE.

Ensure that the hugetlb pages are not reserved for SHM_HUGETLB shared
memory in the shmat() call.

v2: Modifed fix to call hugetlb_reserve_pages() with VM_NORESERVE instead
    as per vma lock is allocated in hugetlb_reserve_pages().
