Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

In file included from arch/arm/mm/flush.c:20:0:
include/linux/hugetlb.h: In function 'hugepages_supported':
include/linux/hugetlb.h:468:9: error: 'HPAGE_SHIFT' undeclared (first use in this function)

And a few more similarly.

Caused by commit c669debfbf05 ("hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied
if hugepages are not supported").

I added the following fix patch:
