[PATCH] mm: hugetlb truncation fixes



hugetlbfs allows truncation of its files (should it?), but hugetlb.c often
forgets that: crashes and misaccounting ensue.

copy_hugetlb_page_range better grab the src page_table_lock since we don't
want to guess what happens if concurrently truncated.  unmap_hugepage_range
rss accounting must not assume the full range was mapped.  follow_hugetlb_page
must guard with page_table_lock and be prepared to exit early.

Restyle copy_hugetlb_page_range with a for loop like the others there.
