hugetlb: add vma based lock for pmd sharing



Allocate a new hugetlb_vma_lock structure and hang off vm_private_data for
synchronization use by vmas that could be involved in pmd sharing.  This
data structure contains a rw semaphore that is the primary tool used for
synchronization.

This new structure is ref counted, so that it can exist when NOT attached
to a vma.  This is only helpful in resolving lock ordering issues where
code may need to obtain the vma_lock while there are no guarantees the vma
may go away.  By obtaining a ref on the structure, it can be guaranteed
that at least the rw semaphore will not go away.

Only add infrastructure for the new lock here.  Actual use will be added
in subsequent patches.
