When fork() and stumble on top of a dma-pinned hugetlb private page, CoW
must happen during fork() to guarantee dma coherency.
In this specific path, hugetlb pages need to be allocated for the child
process. Stop using avoid_reserve=1 flag here: it's not required to be
used here, as dest_vma (which is destined to be a MAP_PRIVATE hugetlb vma)
will have no private vma resv map, and that will make sure it won't be
able to use a vma reservation later.
No functional change intended with this change. Said that, it's still
wanted to do this, so as to reduce the usage of avoid_reserve to the only
one user, which is also why this flag was introduced initially in commit
04f2cbe356 ("hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that
called mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed"). I don't see whoever
else should set it at all.
Further patch will clean up resv accounting based on this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
