Subject: [PATCH 07/15] mm: Make prep_transhuge_page tail-callable

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>

By permitting NULL or order-0 pages as an argument, and returning the
argument, callers can write:

	return prep_transhuge_page(alloc_pages(...));

instead of assigning the result to a temporary variable and conditionally
passing that to prep_transhuge_page().
