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)?
