These counters will track hugetlb reservations rather than hugetlb memory
faulted in.  This patch only adds the counter, following patches add the
charging and uncharging of the counter.

This is patch 1 of an 9 patch series.

Problem:

Currently tasks attempting to reserve more hugetlb memory than is
available get a failure at mmap/shmget time.  This is thanks to Hugetlbfs
Reservations [1].  However, if a task attempts to reserve more hugetlb
memory than its hugetlb_cgroup limit allows, the kernel will allow the
mmap/shmget call, but will SIGBUS the task when it attempts to fault in
the excess memory.

We have users hitting their hugetlb_cgroup limits and thus we've been
looking at this failure mode.  We'd like to improve this behavior such
that users violating the hugetlb_cgroup limits get an error on mmap/shmget
time, rather than getting SIGBUS'd when they try to fault the excess
memory in.  This gives the user an opportunity to fallback more gracefully
to non-hugetlbfs memory for example.

The underlying problem is that today's hugetlb_cgroup accounting happens
at hugetlb memory *fault* time, rather than at *reservation* time.  Thus,
enforcing the hugetlb_cgroup limit only happens at fault time, and the
offending task gets SIGBUS'd.

Proposed Solution:

A new page counter named
'hugetlb.xMB.rsvd.[limit|usage|max_usage]_in_bytes'. This counter has
slightly different semantics than
'hugetlb.xMB.[limit|usage|max_usage]_in_bytes':

- While usage_in_bytes tracks all *faulted* hugetlb memory,
  rsvd.usage_in_bytes tracks all *reserved* hugetlb memory and hugetlb
  memory faulted in without a prior reservation.

- If a task attempts to reserve more memory than limit_in_bytes allows,
  the kernel will allow it to do so.  But if a task attempts to reserve
  more memory than rsvd.limit_in_bytes, the kernel will fail this
  reservation.

This proposal is implemented in this patch series, with tests to verify
functionality and show the usage.

Alternatives considered:

1. A new cgroup, instead of only a new page_counter attached to the
   existing hugetlb_cgroup.  Adding a new cgroup seemed like a lot of code
   duplication with hugetlb_cgroup.  Keeping hugetlb related page counters
   under hugetlb_cgroup seemed cleaner as well.

2. Instead of adding a new counter, we considered adding a sysctl that
   modifies the behavior of hugetlb.xMB.[limit|usage]_in_bytes, to do
   accounting at reservation time rather than fault time.  Adding a new
   page_counter seems better as userspace could, if it wants, choose to
   enforce different cgroups differently: one via limit_in_bytes, and
   another via rsvd.limit_in_bytes.  This could be very useful if you're
   transitioning how hugetlb memory is partitioned on your system one
   cgroup at a time, for example.  Also, someone may find usage for both
   limit_in_bytes and rsvd.limit_in_bytes concurrently, and this approach
   gives them the option to do so.

Testing:
- Added tests passing.
- Used libhugetlbfs for regression testing.
