mm/hugetlb: optimize minimum size (min_size) accounting

Orabug: 24450029

It was observed that minimum size accounting associated with the
hugetlbfs min_size mount option may not perform optimally and as
expected.  As huge pages/reservations are released from the filesystem
and given back to the global pools, they are reserved for subsequent
filesystem use as long as the subpool reserved count is less than
subpool minimum size.  It does not take into account used pages within
the filesystem.  The filesystem size limits are not exceeded and this is
technically not a bug.  However, better behavior would be to wait for
the number of used pages/reservations associated with the filesystem to
drop below the minimum size before taking reservations to satisfy
minimum size.

An optimization is also made to the hugepage_subpool_get_pages() routine
which is called when pages/reservations are allocated.  This does not
change behavior, but simply avoids the accounting if all reservations
have already been taken (subpool reserved count == 0).
