mm/hugetlb: fix nodes huge page allocation when there are surplus pages

Browse Source 
In set_nr_huge_pages(), local variable "count" is used to record
persistent_huge_pages(), but when it cames to nodes huge page allocation,
the semantics changes to nr_huge_pages.  When there exists surplus huge
pages and using the interface under
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/hugepages to change huge page pool size,
this difference can result in the allocation of an unexpected number of
huge pages.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

Starting with:

				  Node 0          Node 1    Total
	HugePages_Total             0.00            0.00     0.00
	HugePages_Free              0.00            0.00     0.00
	HugePages_Surp              0.00            0.00     0.00

create 100 huge pages in Node 0 and consume it, then set Node 0 's
nr_hugepages to 0.

yields:

				  Node 0          Node 1    Total
	HugePages_Total           200.00            0.00   200.00
	HugePages_Free              0.00            0.00     0.00
	HugePages_Surp            200.00            0.00   200.00

write 100 to Node 1's nr_hugepages

		echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/\
	hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

gets:

				  Node 0          Node 1    Total
	HugePages_Total           200.00          400.00   600.00
	HugePages_Free              0.00          400.00   400.00
	HugePages_Surp            200.00            0.00   200.00

Kernel is expected to create only 100 huge pages and it gives 200.
