Really old code was still preferring to parse Linux's /proc/mounts to find the size of hugepages instead of just using statfs() or statvfs() to get the size directly.

Thanks to @wangshaochuang for noticing that the parsing of /proc/mounts wasn't even quite right in modern Linux systems, we have changed the preference in the code to use statfs() / statvfs() if available (which it almost certainly will be), and only fall back to parsing /proc/mounts on really, really, really old systems (where the /proc/mounts parsing will likely be correct).
