thp: implement refcounting for huge zero page

H.  Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever
after the first allocation.  Here's implementation of lockless refcounting
for huge zero page.

We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They
manipulate reference counter.

If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes
two references: one for caller and one for shrinker.  We free the page
only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the
reference).

put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter.  Counter is never zero in
put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference.

Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent
allocate-free.

Refcounting has cost.  On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on
parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page
allocation.  I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.
