Commit 6bfde05bf5c ("hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for
MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs internal mount") altered can_do_hugetlb_shm() to
check if a file is being created for shared memory or mmap().  If this
returns false, we then unconditionally call user_shm_lock() triggering a
warning.  This block should never be entered for MAP_HUGETLB.  This
patch partially reverts the problem and fixes the check.
