hugetlb: debit quota in alloc_huge_page
Now that quota is credited by free_huge_page(), calls to hugetlb_get_quota() seem out of place. The alloc/free API is unbalanced because we handle the hugetlb_put_quota() but expect the caller to open-code hugetlb_get_quota(). Move the get inside alloc_huge_page to clean up this disparity. This patch has been kept apart from the previous patch because of the somewhat dodgy ERR_PTR() use herein. Moving the quota logic means that alloc_huge_page() has two failure modes. Quota failure must result in a SIGBUS while a standard allocation failure is OOM. Unfortunately, ERR_PTR() doesn't like the small positive errnos we have in VM_FAULT_* so they must be negated before they are used. Does anyone take issue with the way I am using PTR_ERR. If so, what are your thoughts on how to clean this up (without needing an if,else if,else block at each alloc_huge_page() callsite)?
