Hmmm, to be honest I really don't care much about this change. It is just
that your previous patch (0c176d5) made the code more confusing and this
aims at fixing that.

But anyway. I will post this to Andrew unless somebody has any
objections.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: do not use vma_hugecache_offset for
 vma_prio_tree_foreach

0c176d5 (mm: hugetlb: fix pgoff computation when unmapping page
from vma) fixed pgoff calculation but it has replaced it by
vma_hugecache_offset which is not approapriate for offsets used for
vma_prio_tree_foreach because that one expects index in page units
rather than in huge_page_shift.
Using vma_hugecache_offset is not incorrect because the pgoff will fit
into the same vmas but it is confusing so the standard PAGE_SHIFT based
index calculation is used instead.
