we wanted explicit "0" and nothing else for extensibility

if (len != 1 || *buf != "0")

return 1;

the standard convention is to return used amount of buffer

Check_limit does more than check limit - it has a substantial side
effect of updating max used.

Basically if we already allocated the buffer and our alloced_pages is
less than the limit then we are good to go.

It is the race to update that we need to have the cmpxchg.
And maybe a helper function would aid readability - not sure, see next point.

I don't believe there is need for the loop either.
Any other updater will also be including our allocated pages
(and at this point in the code eliminated from roll back)
so if they beat us to it, then no problem, their max is better than ours.
