[PATCH v2 1/9] hugetlbfs: revert use i_mmap_rwsem to address page fault/truncate race

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

Commit c0d0381ade79 ("hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing
synchronization") added code to take i_mmap_rwsem in read mode for the
duration of fault processing.  The use of i_mmap_rwsem to prevent
fault/truncate races depends on this.  However, this has been shown to
cause performance/scaling issues.  As a result, that code will be
reverted.  Since the use i_mmap_rwsem to address page fault/truncate races
depends on this, it must also be reverted.

In a subsequent patch, code will be added to detect the fault/truncate
race and back out operations as required.
