Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] hugetlb: don't allow free hugetlb count fall below
reserved count
With strict page reservation, I think kernel should enforce number of free
hugetlb page don't fall below reserved count. Currently it is possible in
the sysctl path. Add proper check in sysctl to disallow that.
