If a new hugetlb page is allocated during fallocate it will not be
marked as active (set_page_huge_active) which will result in a later
isolate_huge_page failure when the page migration code would like to
move that page. Such a failure would be unexpected and wrong.

Only export set_page_huge_active, just leave clear_page_huge_active
as static. Because there are no external users.

Thanks.

Although page_huge_active is declared in page-flags.h, I much prefer the
declaration of set_page_huge_active to be in hugetlb.c.
