Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 01/47] hugetlb: don't set PageUptodate for UFFDIO_CONTINUE

This is how it should have been to begin with. It would be very bad if
we actually set PageUptodate with a UFFDIO_CONTINUE, as UFFDIO_CONTINUE
doesn't actually set/update the contents of the page, so we would be
exposing a non-zeroed page to the user.

The reason this change is being made now is because UFFDIO_CONTINUEs on
subpages definitely shouldn't set this page flag on the head page.
