mm: fix SHM_HUGETLB to work with users in hugetlb_shm_group

Fix hugetlb subsystem so that non root users belonging to
hugetlb_shm_group can actually allocate hugetlb backed shm.

Currently non root users cannot even map one large page using SHM_HUGETLB
when they belong to the gid in /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group.  This is
because allocation size is verified against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limit
even if the user belongs to hugetlb_shm_group.

This patch
1. Fixes hugetlb subsystem so that users with CAP_IPC_LOCK and users
   belonging to hugetlb_shm_group don't need to be restricted with
   RLIMIT_MEMLOCK resource limits
2. This patch also disables mlock based rlimit checking (which will
   be reinstated and marked deprecated in a subsequent patch).
