[PATCH] hugepage allocator cleanup

Insert "fresh" huge pages into the hugepage allocator by the same means as
they are freed back into it.  This reduces code size and allows
enqueue_huge_page to be inlined into the hugepage free fastpath.

Eliminate occurances of hugepages on the free list with non-zero refcount.
This can allow stricter refcount checks in future.  Also required for
lockless pagecache.

"This patch also eliminates a leak "cleaned up" by re-clobbering the
refcount on every allocation from the hugepage freelists.  With respect to
the lockless pagecache, the crucial aspect is to eliminate unconditional
set_page_count() to 0 on pages with potentially nonzero refcounts, though
closer inspection suggests the assignments removed are entirely spurious."
