mm: hugetlb: proc: add HugetlbPages field to /proc/PID/status
Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages, which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory (including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access to the info via /proc/PID/status.
