hugetlb: allow extending ftruncate on hugetlbfs
For historical reason, expanding ftruncate that increases file size on
hugetlbfs is not allowed due to pages were pre-faulted and lack of fault
handler. Now that we have demand faulting on hugetlb since 2.6.15, there
is no reason to hold back that limitation.
This will make hugetlbfs behave more like a normal fs. I'm writing a user
level code that uses hugetlbfs but will fall back to tmpfs if there are no
hugetlb page available in the system. Having hugetlbfs specific ftruncate
behavior is a bit quirky and I would like to remove that artificial
limitation.
