hugetlb: enforce quotas during reservation for shared mappings

When a MAP_SHARED mmap of a hugetlbfs file succeeds, huge pages are reserved
to guarantee no problems will occur later when instantiating pages.  If quotas
are in force, page instantiation could fail due to a race with another process
or an oversized (but approved) shared mapping.

To prevent these scenarios, debit the quota for the full reservation amount up
front and credit the unused quota when the reservation is released.
