[PATCH] enforce proper tlb flush in unmap_hugepage_range
Spotted by Hugh that hugetlb page is free'ed back to global pool before
performing any TLB flush in unmap_hugepage_range(). This potentially allow
threads to abuse free-alloc race condition.
The generic tlb gather code is unsuitable to use by hugetlb, I just open
coded a page gathering list and delayed put_page until tlb flush is
performed.
