[PATCH] hugepage: Fix hugepage logic in free_pgtables() harder
Turns out the hugepage logic in free_pgtables() was doubly broken. The loop coalescing multiple normal page VMAs into one call to free_pgd_range() had an off by one error, which could mean it would coalesce one hugepage VMA into the same bundle (checking 'vma' not 'next' in the loop). I transferred this bug into the new is_vm_hugetlb_page() based version. Here's the fix. This one didn't bite on powerpc previously for the same reason the is_hugepage_only_range() problem didn't: powerpc's hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is identical to free_pgd_range(). It didn't bite on ia64 because the hugepage region is distant enough from any other region that the separated PMD_SIZE distance test would always prevent coalescing the two together. No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions (ppc64, POWER5).
