mm/hugetlb: document huge_pte_offset usage

huge_pte_offset() is potentially a pgtable walker, looking up pte_t* for a
hugetlb address.

Normally, it's always safe to walk a generic pgtable as long as we're with
the mmap lock held for either read or write, because that guarantees the
pgtable pages will always be valid during the process.

But it's not true for hugetlbfs, especially shared: hugetlbfs can have its
pgtable freed by pmd unsharing, it means that even with mmap lock held for
current mm, the PMD pgtable page can still go away from under us if pmd
unsharing is possible during the walk.

So we have two ways to make it safe even for a shared mapping:

  (1) If we're with the hugetlb vma lock held for either read/write, it's
      okay because pmd unshare cannot happen at all.

  (2) If we're with the i_mmap_rwsem lock held for either read/write, it's
      okay because even if pmd unshare can happen, the pgtable page cannot
      be freed from under us.

Document it.
