mm/hugetlb: keep max_huge_pages when dissolving surplus folios

Browse source

dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio() can remove a free folio as surplus when its
node has surplus pages.  In that case remove_hugetlb_folio() decrements
both nr_huge_pages and surplus_huge_pages, leaving the persistent pool
size unchanged.

Updating max_huge_pages as if a persistent folio had been removed can
therefore corrupt the persistent pool target and underflow it when
max_huge_pages is zero.  Keep max_huge_pages unchanged for surplus folios,
including the vmemmap restoration rollback path.
