Subject: [PATCH] mm, hugetlb: correct missing private flag clearing

We should clear the page's private flag when returing the page to
the page allocator or the hugepage pool. This patch fixes it.

Hello, Andrew.

I sent the new version of commit ('07443a8') before you did pull request,
but it isn't included. It may be losted :)
So I send this fix. IMO, this is good for v3.12.

Thanks.
