hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl
The maximum size of the huge page pool can be controlled using the overall size of the hugetlb filesystem (via its 'size' mount option). However in the common case the this will not be set as the pool is traditionally fixed in size at boot time. In order to maintain the expected semantics, we need to prevent the pool expanding by default. This patch introduces a new sysctl controlling dynamic pool resizing. When this is enabled the pool will expand beyond its base size up to the size of the hugetlb filesystem. It is disabled by default.
