hugetlb: new sysfs interface

Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates
in sysfs. There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages. Underneath
that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size,
e.g.:

/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB

corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively. Within each
hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the
tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.:

/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages

Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are
read-only. The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially
deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to
match meminfo).
