Previously, gbl_chg was passed from alloc_hugetlb_folio() into
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma(), leaking the concept of gbl_chg into
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma().

This patch consolidates the interpretation of gbl_chg into
alloc_hugetlb_folio(), also renaming dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() to
dequeue_hugetlb_folio() so dequeue_hugetlb_folio() can just focus on
dequeuing a folio.

The rename seems not needed in this patch, since the function still takes vma
and uses it. May be better to move the rename to a later patch.
