mm/hugetlb: fix use after free when subpool max_hpages accounting is not enabled
If a hugetlbfs filesystem is created with the min_size option and without the size option, used_hpages is always 0 and might lead to release subpool prematurely because it indicates no pages are used now while there might be. In order to fix this issue, we should check used_hpages == 0 iff max_hpages accounting is enabled. As max_hpages accounting should be enabled in most common case, this is not worth a Cc stable.
