hugetlb, rmap: fix confusing page locking in hugetlb_cow()



The "if (!trylock_page)" block in the avoidcopy path of hugetlb_cow()
looks confusing and is buggy.  Originally this trylock_page() was
intended to make sure that old_page is locked even when old_page !=
pagecache_page, because then only pagecache_page is locked.

This patch fixes it by moving page locking into hugetlb_fault().
