Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] mm, hugetlb: clean-up and possible bug fix

First 5 patches are almost trivial clean-up patches.

The others are for fixing three bugs.
Perhaps, these problems are minor, because this codes are used
for a long time, and there is no bug reporting for these problems.

These patches are based on v3.10.0 and
passed the libhugetlbfs test suite.

Changes from v2.
There is no code change in all patches from v2.
Omit patch 2('clean-up alloc_huge_page()') which try to remove one
goto label.
Add more comments to changelog as Michal's opinion.
Add reviewed-by or acked-by.

Changes from v1.
Split patch 1 into two patches to clear it's purpose.
Remove useless indentation changes in 'clean-up alloc_huge_page()'
Fix new iteration code bug.
Add reviewed-by or acked-by.

  mm, hugetlb: move up the code which check availability of free huge
    page
  mm, hugetlb: trivial commenting fix
