hugetlb: fix a hugepage reservation check for MAP_SHARED
When removing a huge page from the hugepage pool for a fault the system checks
to see if the mapping requires additional pages to be reserved, and if it does
whether there are any unreserved pages remaining. If not, the allocation
fails without even attempting to get a page. In order to determine whether to
apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma
is MAP_PRIVATE and is the owner. This incorrectly triggers the remaining
reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the
final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping.
In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the
process is not the original mapper. Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with
vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and
update the caller.
