mm/huge_memory: prevent THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC increased twice
A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge zero pages that are really allocated for thp. It is misleading to increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page concurrently. Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really used. Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.
