mm, hugetlbfs: pass fault address to no page handler

This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing
optimization (commit c79b57e: "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page
last when clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs.

In the general optimization patch, the sub-page to access will be
cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to access sub-page to be
evicted when clearing other sub-pages.  This works better if we have the
address of the sub-page to access, that is, the fault address inside the
huge page.  So the hugetlbfs no page fault handler is changed to pass
that information.  This will benefit workloads which don't access the
begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache
contention for shared last level cache.

The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some
workloads, not for a specific use case.  To demonstrate the performance
benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs.

With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4
system (44 cores, 88 threads).  The test case creates 88 processes, each
process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to
it from the end to the begin.  For each process, other processes could
be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure.  At the
same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC
(instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent
in user space is reduced ~19.3%.
