Mike Kravetz 692b55815c userfaultfd/selftests: clean up hugetlb allocation code 
The message for commit f5c7329718 ("userfaultfd/selftests: fix hugetlb
area allocations") says there is no need to create a hugetlb file in the
non-shared testing case.  However, the commit did not actually change
the code to prevent creation of the file.

While it is technically true that there is no need to create and use a
hugetlb file in the case of non-shared-testing, it is useful.  This is
because 'hole punching' of a hugetlb file has the potentially incorrect
side effect of also removing pages from private mappings.  The
userfaultfd test relies on this side effect for removing pages from the
destination buffer during rounds of stress testing.

Remove the incomplete code that was added to deal with no hugetlb file.
Just keep the code that prevents reserves from being created for the
destination area.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
