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 e5bbc8a6 ("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.
