userfaultfd: hugetlbfs: UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS
Userland developers asked to be notified immediately by the UFFDIO_API
ioctl if hugetlbfs missing mode is supported by userfaultfd in the
running kernel. This avoids the need to run UFFDIO_REGISTER on a
hugetlbfs virtual memory range to find out.
