[PATCH 03/10] mm/hugetlb: Protect follow_huge_(pud|pgd) functions from race

follow_huge_(pmd|pud|pgd) functions are used to walk the page table and
fetch the page struct during 'follow_page_mask' call. There are possible
race conditions faced by these functions which arise out of simultaneous
calls of move_pages() and freeing of huge pages. This was fixed partly
by the previous commit e66f17ff7177 ("mm/hugetlb: take page table lock
in follow_huge_pmd()") for only PMD based huge pages.

After implementing similar logic, functions like follow_huge_(pud|pgd)
are now safe from above mentioned race conditions and also can support
FOLL_GET. Generic version of the function 'follow_huge_addr' has been
left as it is and its upto the architecture to decide on it.
