mm/hugetlb: make hugetlb_reserve_pages() return nr of entries updated

Patch series "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation", v4.

There are cases when we try to pin a folio but discover that it has not
been faulted-in.  So, we try to allocate it in memfd_alloc_folio() but the
allocation request may not succeed if there are no active reservations in
the system at that instant.

Therefore, making a reservation (by calling hugetlb_reserve_pages())
associated with the allocation will ensure that our request would not fail
due to lack of reservations.  This will also ensure that proper
region/subpool accounting is done with our allocation.

This patch (of 3):

Currently, hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns a bool to indicate whether the
reservation map update for the range [from, to] was successful or not.
This is not sufficient for the case where the caller needs to determine
how many entries were updated for the range.

Therefore, have hugetlb_reserve_pages() return the number of entries
updated in the reservation map associated with the range [from, to].
Also, update the callers of hugetlb_reserve_pages() to handle the new
return value.
