[v2,1/8] mm/hugetlb: Handle FOLL_DUMP well in follow_page_mask()

Commit Message

Firstly, the no_page_table() is meaningless for hugetlb which is a no-op
there, because a hugetlb page always satisfies:

  - vma_is_anonymous() == false
  - vma->vm_ops->fault != NULL

So we can already safely remove it in hugetlb_follow_page_mask(), alongside
with the page* variable.

Meanwhile, what we do in follow_hugetlb_page() actually makes sense for a
dump: we try to fault in the page only if the page cache is already
allocated.  Let's do the same here for follow_page_mask() on hugetlb.

It should so far has zero effect on real dumps, because that still goes
into follow_hugetlb_page().  But this may start to influence a bit on
follow_page() users who mimics a "dump page" scenario, but hopefully in a
good way.  This also paves way for unifying the hugetlb gup-slow.
