When fork() and stumble on top of a dma-pinned hugetlb private page, CoW must happen during fork() to guarantee dma coherency. In this specific path, hugetlb pages need to be allocated for the child process. Stop using avoid_reserve=1 flag here: it's not required to be used here, as dest_vma (which is destined to be a MAP_PRIVATE hugetlb vma) will have no private vma resv map, and that will make sure it won't be able to use a vma reservation later. No functional change intended with this change. Said that, it's still wanted to do this, so as to reduce the usage of avoid_reserve to the only one user, which is also why this flag was introduced initially in commit 04f2cbe3 ("hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that called mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed"). I don't see whoever else should set it at all. Further patch will clean up resv accounting based on this.
