Basic overcommit checking for hugetlb_file_map() based on an implementation
used with demand faulting in SLES9.

Since demand faulting can't guarantee the availability of pages at mmap
time, this patch implements a basic sanity check to ensure that the number
of huge pages required to satisfy the mmap are currently available.
Despite the obvious race, I think it is a good start on doing proper
accounting.  I'd like to work towards an accounting system that mimics the
semantics of normal pages (especially for the MAP_PRIVATE/COW case).  That
work is underway and builds on what this patch starts.

Huge page shared memory segments are simpler and still maintain their
commit on shmget semantics.
