[PATCH v2 2/6] mm: hugetlb: add a new parameter for some functions

[Huang Shijie <shijie.huang@arm.com>]

This patch adds a new parameter, the "no_init", for these functions:
   alloc_fresh_gigantic_page_node()
   alloc_fresh_gigantic_page()

The prep_new_huge_page() does some initialization for the new page.
But sometime, we do not need it to do so, such as in the surplus case
in later patch.

With this parameter, the prep_new_huge_page() can be called by needed:
   If the "no_init" is false, calls the prep_new_huge_page() in
   the alloc_fresh_gigantic_page_node();

This patch makes preparation for the later patches.
