hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctl
patch a3d0c6aa1bb342b9b2c7b123b52ac2f48a4d4d0a in mainline.
When I replaced hugetlb_dynamic_pool with nr_overcommit_hugepages I used
proc_doulongvec_minmax() directly. However, hugetlb.c's locking rules
require that all counter modifications occur under the hugetlb_lock. Add a
callback into the hugetlb code similar to the one for nr_hugepages. Grab
the lock around the manipulation of nr_overcommit_hugepages in
proc_doulongvec_minmax().
