Subject: [PATCH] general split_vma hugetlb fix

My recent do_munmap hugetlb fix has proved inadequate. There are
other places (madvise, mbind, mlock, mprotect) where split_vma is
called. Only mprotect excludes a hugetlb vma: the others are in
danger of splitting at a misaligned address, causing later BUGs.

So move the ~HPAGE_MASK check from do_munmap to split_vma itself;
and fix up those places (madvise and mlock) which expect split_vma
can fail only with -ENOMEM, and wish to convert that to -EAGAIN.
(It appears genuine that some of these syscalls should be failing
with -ENOMEM and some with -EAGAIN, so respect those behaviours.)

madvise_dontneed doesn't use split_vma, but is equally in danger
of causing a hugetlb BUG via zap_page_range. Whereas elsewhere the
patch is permissive (allowing the operation on a hugetlb vma even when
pointless, so long as it doesn't missplit it), here we must use -EINVAL
on any hugetlb vma, since a page fault would hit the BUG in its nopage.
