hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing synchronization
While looking at BUGs associated with invalid huge page map counts, it was
discovered and observed that a huge pte pointer could become 'invalid' and
point to another task's page table.  Consider the following:

A task takes a page fault on a shared hugetlbfs file and calls
huge_pte_alloc to get a ptep.  Suppose the returned ptep points to a
shared pmd.

Now, another task truncates the hugetlbfs file.  As part of truncation, it
unmaps everyone who has the file mapped.  If the range being truncated is
covered by a shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will be called.  For all but the
last user of the shared pmd, huge_pmd_unshare will clear the pud pointing
to the pmd.  If the task in the middle of the page fault is not the last
user, the ptep returned by huge_pte_alloc now points to another task's
page table or worse.  This leads to bad things such as incorrect page
map/reference counts or invalid memory references.

To fix, expand the use of i_mmap_rwsem as follows:

- i_mmap_rwsem is held in read mode whenever huge_pmd_share is called.
  huge_pmd_share is only called via huge_pte_alloc, so callers of
  huge_pte_alloc take i_mmap_rwsem before calling.  In addition, callers
  of huge_pte_alloc continue to hold the semaphore until finished with the
  ptep.

- i_mmap_rwsem is held in write mode whenever huge_pmd_unshare is
  called.
