mm/hugetlb: fix overbroad MMU notifiers for unshared PMDs

Hugetlb currently expands MMU notifier ranges to PUD boundaries whenever
PMD sharing is possible.  That is only needed when huge_pmd_unshare()
actually detaches a shared PMD page table, because clearing the PUD
invalidates the whole PUD-sized virtual address range.

For hugetlbfs hole punch, and similarly for other hugetlb unmap paths, a
shared mapping can pass the "PMD sharing is possible" range test in
adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible() even when the hugetlbfs file does
not currently have any shared PMD page tables.  KVM then receives a 1G
invalidation for a 2M operation and zaps unrelated secondary mappings, so
the guest has to fault them back in.

Avoid this by tracking active PMD-sharing attachments per hugetlbfs inode.
The count is incremented only after huge_pmd_share() successfully
installs a shared PMD table, and decremented when __huge_pmd_unshare()
actually detaches one.  Since huge_pmd_share() can run concurrently under
i_mmap_lock_read(), use a 64-bit atomic counter.  A zero count is used to
skip the conservative notifier range expansion only after excluding
concurrent PMD sharing with the mapping write lock.

On a Redis-in-VM workload that punches cold 2M hugetlb pages, this patch
improves P99 QPS stability while punching pages, reducing the QPS
degradation ratio from 7.09% to 1.45%.
