[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).
