Subject: [10/45] thp: add compound tail page _mapcount when mapped

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Youquan Song <youquan.song@...el.com>

commit b6999b19120931ede364fa3b685e698a61fed31d upstream.

With the 3.2-rc kernel, IOMMU 2M pages in KVM works.  But when I tried
to use IOMMU 1GB pages in KVM, I encountered an oops and the 1GB page
failed to be used.

The root cause is that 1GB page allocation calls gup_huge_pud() while 2M
page calls gup_huge_pmd.  If compound pages are used and the page is a
tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are
mapped while gup_huge_pud does not do that.

So when the mapped page is relesed, it will result in kernel oops
because the page is not marked mapped.

This patch add tail process for compound page in 1GB huge page which
keeps the same process as 2M page.

Reproduce like:
1. Add grub boot option: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8
2. mount -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=1G hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages
3. qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda os-kvm.img -cpu kvm64 -smp 4 -mem-path /dev/hugepages
	-net none -device pci-assign,host=07:00.1
