The current implementation of hugetlb_cgroup for shared mappings could have
different behavior. Consider the following two scenarios:

1.Assume initial css reference count of hugetlb_cgroup is 1:
  1.1 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 1, to = 2. So css reference
count is 2 associated with 1 file_region.
  1.2 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 2, to = 3. So css reference
count is 3 associated with 2 file_region.
  1.3 coalesce_file_region will coalesce these two file_regions into one.
So css reference count is 3 associated with 1 file_region now.

2.Assume initial css reference count of hugetlb_cgroup is 1 again:
  2.1 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 1, to = 3. So css reference
count is 2 associated with 1 file_region.

Therefore, we might have one file_region while holding one or more css
reference counts. This inconsistency could lead to imbalanced css_get()
and css_put() pair. If we do css_put one by one (i.g. hole punch case),
scenario 2 would put one more css reference. If we do css_put all together
(i.g. truncate case), scenario 1 will leak one css reference.

The imbalanced css_get() and css_put() pair would result in a non-zero
reference when we try to destroy the hugetlb cgroup. The hugetlb cgroup
directory is removed __but__ associated resource is not freed. This might
result in OOM or can not create a new hugetlb cgroup in a busy workload
ultimately.

In order to fix this, we have to make sure that one file_region must hold
and only hold one css reference. So in coalesce_file_region case, we should
release one css reference before coalescence. Also only put css reference
when the entire file_region is removed.

The last thing to note is that the caller of region_add() will only hold
one reference to h_cg->css for the whole contiguous reservation region.
But this area might be scattered when there are already some file_regions
reside in it. As a result, many file_regions may share only one h_cg->css
reference. In order to ensure that one file_region must hold and only hold
one h_cg->css reference, we should do css_get() for each file_region and
release the reference held by caller when they are done.
