Andrea Arcangeli ce83d2174e thp: allocate memory in khugepaged outside of mmap_sem write mode ...

This tries to be more friendly to filesystem in userland, with userland
backends that allocate memory in the I/O paths and that could deadlock if
khugepaged holds the mmap_sem write mode of the userland backend while
allocating memory.  Memory allocation may wait for writeback I/O
completion from the daemon that may be blocked in the mmap_sem read mode
if a page fault happens and the daemon wasn't using mlock for the memory
required for the I/O submission and completion.
