Patch series "make hugetlb put_page safe for all calling contexts", v5.

This effort is the result a recent bug report [1].  Syzbot found a
potential deadlock in the hugetlb put_page/free_huge_page_path.  WARNING:
SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected Since the
free_huge_page_path already has code to 'hand off' page free requests to a
workqueue, a suggestion was proposed to make the in_irq() detection
accurate by always enabling PREEMPT_COUNT [2].  The outcome of that
discussion was that the hugetlb put_page path (free_huge_page) path should
be properly fixed and safe for all calling contexts.
