Subject: [PATCH 3.11 151/208] mm: numa: clear numa hinting information on mprotect

3.11.10.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit 1667918b6483b12a6496bf54151b827b8235d7b1 upstream.

On a protection change it is no longer clear if the page should be still
accessible.  This patch clears the NUMA hinting fault bits on a
protection change.
