hugetlbfs: fix potential over/underflow setting node specific nr_hugepages

The number of node specific huge pages can be set via a file such as:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
When a node specific value is specified, the global number of huge pages
must also be adjusted.  This adjustment is calculated as the specified
node specific value + (global value - current node value).  If the node
specific value provided by the user is large enough, this calculation
could overflow an unsigned long leading to a smaller than expected number
of huge pages.

To fix, check the calculation for overflow.  If overflow is detected, use
ULONG_MAX as the requested value.  This is inline with the user request to
allocate as many huge pages as possible.

It was also noticed that the above calculation was done outside the
hugetlb_lock.  Therefore, the values could be inconsistent and result in
underflow.  To fix, the calculation is moved within the routine
set_max_huge_pages() where the lock is held.

In addition, the code in __nr_hugepages_store_common() which tries to
handle the case of not being able to allocate a node mask would likely
result in incorrect behavior.  Luckily, it is very unlikely we will ever
take this path.  If we do, simply return ENOMEM.
