hugetlb: fix pool shrinking while in restricted cpuset

Browse Source 
Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any
cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset
is checked.  This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a
restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a
node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there.

There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the
cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset.  >From previous discussions
on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that
should not be restricted by cpusets.  So allow shrinking the pool by removing
pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.
