Subject: [PATCH 3.13 136/212] arm64: fix pud_huge() for 2-level pagetables

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

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

From: Mark Salter <msalter@...hat.com>

commit 4797ec2dc83a43be35bad56037d1b53db9e2b5d5 upstream.

The following happens when trying to run a kvm guest on a kernel
configured for 64k pages. This doesn't happen with 4k pages:

  BUG: failure at include/linux/mm.h:297/put_page_testzero()!
  Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
  CPU: 2 PID: 4228 Comm: qemu-system-aar Tainted: GF            3.13.0-0.rc7.31.sa2.k32v1.aarch64.debug #1

In arch/arm/kvm/mmu.c:unmap_range(), we end up doing an extra put_page()
on the stage2 pgd which leads to the BUG in put_page_testzero(). This
happens because a pud_huge() test in unmap_range() returns true when it
should always be false with 2-level pages tables used by 64k pages.
This patch removes support for huge puds if 2-level pagetables are
being used.
