hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the mbind hugetlb migration

do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
pages.  alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
hugetlb cgroup accounting.  None of that is really required for the page
migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
the original page or it will be dropped.  This is essentially as for
other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
mbind in a special way.

The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
overcommit is saturated.

Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths.  Add a new
migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.

alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.
