hugetlbfs: dirty pages as they are added to pagecache

Some test systems were experiencing negative huge page reserve counts and
incorrect file block counts.  This was traced to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
removing clean pages from hugetlbfs file pagecaches.  When non-hugetlbfs
explicit code removes the pages, the appropriate accounting is not
performed.

This can be recreated as follows:
 fallocate -l 2M /dev/hugepages/foo
 echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 fallocate -l 2M /dev/hugepages/foo
 grep -i huge /proc/meminfo
   AnonHugePages:         0 kB
   ShmemHugePages:        0 kB
   HugePages_Total:    2048
   HugePages_Free:     2047
   HugePages_Rsvd:    18446744073709551615
   HugePages_Surp:        0
   Hugepagesize:       2048 kB
   Hugetlb:         4194304 kB
 ls -lsh /dev/hugepages/foo
   4.0M -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.0M Oct 17 20:05 /dev/hugepages/foo

To address this issue, dirty pages as they are added to pagecache.  This
can easily be reproduced with fallocate as shown above.  Read faulted
pages will eventually end up being marked dirty.  But there is a window
where they are clean and could be impacted by code such as drop_caches.
So, just dirty them all as they are added to the pagecache.
