[PATCH v4 06/10] mm/hugetlb: vma_has_reserves() needs to handle fallocate hole punch

[Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>]

In vma_has_reserves(), the current assumption is that reserves are
always present for shared mappings.  However, this will not be the
case with fallocate hole punch.  When punching a hole, the present
page will be deleted as well as the region/reserve map entry (and
hence any reservation).  vma_has_reserves is passed "chg" which
indicates whether or not a region/reserve map is present.  Use
this to determine if reserves are actually present or were removed
via hole punch.
