allocate structures for reservation tracking in hugetlbfs outside of spinlocks v2

[Andrew this should replace the previous version which did not check
the returns from the region prepare for errors.  This has been tested by
us and Gerald and it looks good.

Bah, while reviewing the locking based on your previous email I spotted
that we need to check the return from the vma_needs_reservation call for
allocation errors.  Here is an updated patch to correct this.  This passes
testing here.]
