mm, hugetlb: do not rely on overcommit limit during migration

hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page.
This has 2 main disadvantages.

1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used
   completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and
   unused memory is just wasted.

2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes
   might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the
   page is in use.  The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages
   tracking (see free_huge_page).

Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account
pages allocated for migration.  Those should temporal by definition.  So
we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and
update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator.  Page
migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page
to the old one which will be freed on the last reference.  The global
surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be
careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page.  This is now handled in
move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies
the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed

Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better
reflect its purpose.  The new allocation routine for the migration path
is __alloc_migrate_huge_page.

The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really
temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration
request:

Before migration
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0

After
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1
  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0

with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1
until the page is freed.
