mm: hugetlb: refactor out hugetlb_alloc_folio()
Refactor out hugetlb_alloc_folio() from alloc_hugetlb_folio(), which
handles allocation of a folio and memory and HugeTLB charging to cgroups.
This refactoring decouples the HugeTLB page allocation from VMAs,
specifically:
1. Reservations (as in resv_map) are stored in the vma
2. mpol is stored at vma->vm_policy
3. A vma must be used for allocation even if the pages are not meant to be
used by host process.
Without this coupling, VMAs are no longer a requirement for allocation.
This opens up the allocation routine for usage without VMAs, which will
allow guest_memfd to use HugeTLB as a more generic allocator of huge
pages, since guest_memfd memory may not have any associated VMAs by
design. In addition, direct allocations from HugeTLB could possibly be
refactored to avoid the use of a pseudo-VMA.
Also, this decouples HugeTLB page allocation from HugeTLBfs, where the
subpool is stored at the fs mount. This is also a requirement for
guest_memfd, where the plan is to have a subpool created per-fd and stored
on the inode.
Provide and use alloc_flags to allow more allocation knobs in future
without expanding the number of parameters in hugetlb_alloc_folio().
No functional change intended.
