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:

Caused by commit

  ab61a0a665d8 ("huge tmpfs: try to allocate huge pages, split into a team")

I added the following (hacky, but builds for my compiler at least)
patch for today:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 14:57:45 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] huge tmpfs: fix build problem on arm

allocated_huge will never be non-NULL if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not.
