mm/hugetlb: stop using avoid_reserve flag in fork()
When fork() and stumble on top of a dma-pinned hugetlb private page, CoW
must happen during fork() to guarantee dma coherency.
In this specific path, hugetlb pages need to be allocated for the child
process. Stop using avoid_reserve=1 flag here: it's not required to be
used here, as dest_vma (which is destined to be a MAP_PRIVATE hugetlb vma)
will have no private vma resv map, and that will make sure it won't be
able to use a vma reservation later.
No functional change intended with this change. Said that, it's still
wanted to do this, so as to reduce the usage of avoid_reserve to the only
one user, which is also why this flag was introduced initially in commit
04f2cbe35699 ("hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that
called mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed"). I don't see whoever
else should set it at all.
Further patch will clean up resv accounting based on this.
