mm: reintroduce and deprecate rlimit based access for SHM_HUGETLB

Allow non root users with sufficient mlock rlimits to be able to allocate
hugetlb backed shm for now.  Deprecate this though.  This is being
deprecated because the mlock based rlimit checks for SHM_HUGETLB is not
consistent with mmap based huge page allocations.
