Have hugetlb_fault() call unlock_page(page) only if it had previously called
lock_page(page).

Setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y and then running the libhugetlbfs test suite,
resulted in the tripping of VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in unlock_page()
having been called by hugetlb_fault() when page == pagecache_page.
This patch remedied the problem.
