Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlbfs Fix bugs in fallocate hole punch of areas with holes

Hugh Dickins pointed out problems with the new hugetlbfs fallocate
hole punch code.  These problems are in the routine remove_inode_hugepages
and mostly occur in the case where there are holes in the range of
pages to be removed.  These holes could be the result of a previous hole
punch or simply sparse allocation.

remove_inode_hugepages handles both hole punch and truncate operations.
Page index handling was fixed/cleaned up so that holes are properly
handled.  In addition, code was changed to ensure multiple passes of the
address range only happens in the truncate case.  More comments were added
to explain the different actions in each case.  A cond_resched() was added
after removing up to PAGEVEC_SIZE pages.

Some totally unnecessary code in hugetlbfs_fallocate() that remained from
early development was also removed.
