hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported

In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 0
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 64 kB
HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.
This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment. I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages and
that won't change at runtime.
