mm/huge_memory: prevent THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC increased twice 

A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge
zero pages that are really allocated for thp.  It is misleading to
increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page
concurrently.  Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really
used.

Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.
