Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix two bugs in hugetlbfs MAP_PRIVATE page reservation

The following two patches fix minor issues with the MAP_PRIVATE-reservation
support for hugetlbfs that showed up during testing. The first patch fixes a
problem whereby a check is made for MAP_SHARED mappings that is intended for
MAP_PRIVATE mappings only. The second fixes a BUG_ON that is triggered due to
an unaligned address.

Both patches are fixes for
hugetlb-reserve-huge-pages-for-reliable-map_private-hugetlbfs-mappings-until-fork.patch.
Credit goes to Adam Litke for spotting the problems during regression testing.
