[patch v2] mm, hugetlb: include hugepages in meminfo

mm, hugetlb: include hugepages in meminfo

Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is
not displayed. All other meminfo that is emitted will not add up to what
is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to show that
a potentially significant amount of memory is actually allocated as
hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed.

Booting with hugepages=8192 on the command line, this memory is now shown
in oom conditions. For example, with echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger:

Node 0 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB
Node 1 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB
Node 2 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB
Node 3 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB
