Subject: [PATCH] thp: define HPAGE_PMD_* constans as BUILD_BUG() if !THP

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

Currently, HPAGE_PMD_* constans rely on PMD_SHIFT regardless of
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. PMD_SHIFT is not defined everywhere (e.g.
arm nommu case).

It means we can't use anything like this in generic code:

        if (PageTransHuge(page))
                zero_huge_user(page, 0, HPAGE_PMD_SIZE);
        else
                clear_highpage(page);

For !THP case, PageTransHuge() is 0 and compiler can eliminate
zero_huge_user() call. But it still need to be valid C expression, means
HPAGE_PMD_SIZE has to expand to something compiler can understand.

Previously, HPAGE_PMD_* were defined to BUILD_BUG() for !THP. Let's come
back to it.
