Thank you.  Yes, it looks like failing the allocation after
vma_adjust_trans_huge() is not working out here.  What happens is a
split fails to vm_adjust, so we enter the __split_vm() error code path
which calls vm_ops->close().  The account for the hughtlb is actually
done in the close() operation.  What I can do is to avoid accounting by
setting vm_start = vm_end, and vm_pgoff = 0.  This way, the accounting
will charge 0 as apposed to removing the vma that was never added.
