Adam Litke 2668db9111 hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages 
Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero.  Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero.  However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool.  Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.

This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off.  However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.

Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.
