[PATCH v2 2/2] hugetlb: optimize update_and_free_pages_bulk to avoid lock cycles

[Mike Kravetz]

update_and_free_pages_bulk is designed to free a list of hugetlb pages
back to their associated lower level allocators.  This may require
allocating vmemmmap pages associated with each hugetlb page.  The
hugetlb page destructor must be changed before pages are freed to lower
level allocators.  However, the destructor must be changed under the
hugetlb lock.  This means there is potentially one lock cycle per page.

Minimize the number of lock cycles in update_and_free_pages_bulk by:
1) allocating necessary vmemmap for all hugetlb pages on the list
2) take hugetlb lock and clear destructor for all pages on the list
3) free all pages on list back to low level allocators
