Thanks MIke. But there are still some places that need
improvement. See below.

Now update_and_free_page can be called without holding
hugetlb_lock. We can move it out of hugetlb_lock. In this
function, there are 3 places which call update_and_free_page().
We can move all of them out of hugetlb_lock. Right?

This optimization can squash to the commit:

"hugetlb: call update_and_free_page without hugetlb_lock"

Thanks.
