Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 039/129] Revert "mm/hugetlb: use pmd_page() in follow_huge_pmd()"

3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@...onical.com>

This reverts commit 65342eab7baa43fb7852aafbe99e54daf2cd6420 which is
commit 97534127012f0e396eddea4691f4c9b170aed74b upstream.

This is being reverted because it fixes a regression that was introduced
in 4.0 and does not affect 3.16 kernel.
