abstract out prefaulting from alloc_shared_hugetlb_pages()

From: William Lee Irwin III (wli@holomorphy.com)

In order for hugetlbfs to operate, prefaulting the vma at mmap()-time
while simultaneously instantiating and performing lookups on its
ratcache entries is needed as an isolated operation. This is implemented
as part of a different function within hugetlbpage.c that ties it to
inode and key lookup and allocation. The following patch simply moves
the code already present into its own function, calls it, and makes it
available for hugetlbfs to use.

The BUG() checks for alignment etc. are consistent with current usage
within sys_alloc_hugepages() and its associated get_addr():

in get_addr():

        if (addr) {
                addr = HPAGE_ALIGN(addr);
...
        }
        addr = HPAGE_ALIGN(TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE);

in sys_alloc_hugepages():

        if (len & (HPAGE_SIZE - 1))
                return -EINVAL;
