hugetlb: revert use of page_cache_next_miss()

Ackerley Tng reported an issue with hugetlbfs fallocate as noted in the
Closes tag.  The issue showed up after the conversion of hugetlb page
cache lookup code to use page_cache_next_miss.  User visible effects are:

- hugetlbfs fallocate incorrectly returns -EEXIST if pages are presnet
  in the file.
- hugetlb pages will not be included in core dumps if they need to be
  brought in via GUP.
- userfaultfd UFFDIO_COPY will not notice pages already present in the
  cache.  It may try to allocate a new page and potentially return
  ENOMEM as opposed to EEXIST.

Revert the use page_cache_next_miss() in hugetlb code.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STABLE BACKPORTS:
This patch will apply cleanly to v6.3.  However, due to the change of
filemap_get_folio() return values, it will not function correctly.  This
patch must be modified for stable backports.
