mm/memfd: reserve hugetlb folios before allocation

When we try to allocate a folio via alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve(), we need
to ensure that there is an active reservation associated with the
allocation.  Otherwise, our allocation request would fail if there are no
active reservations made at that moment against any other allocations. 
This is because alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve() checks h->resv_huge_pages
before proceeding with the allocation.

Therefore, to address this issue, we just need to make a reservation (by
calling hugetlb_reserve_pages()) before we try to allocate the folio. 
This will also ensure that proper region/subpool accounting is done
associated with our allocation.
