mm: hugetlb: defer freeing of HugeTLB pages
In the subsequent patch, we should allocate the vmemmap pages when freeing
a HugeTLB page. But update_and_free_page() can be called under any
context, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL to allocate vmemmap pages. However,
we can defer the actual freeing in a kworker to prevent from using
GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages.
The __update_and_free_page() is where the call to allocate vmemmmap pages
will be inserted.
