[IA64] fix nested_dtlb_miss handler for hugetlb address
The nested_dtlb_miss handler currently does not handle fault from
hugetlb address correctly. It walks the page table assuming PAGE_SIZE.
Thus when taking a fault triggered from hugetlb address, it would not
calculate the pgd/pmd/pte address correctly and thus result an incorrect
invocation of ia64_do_page_fault(). In there, kernel will signal SIGBUS
and application dies (The faulting address is perfectly legal and we
have a valid pte for the corresponding user hugetlb address as well).
This patch fix the described kernel bug. Since nested_dtlb_miss is a
rare event and a slow path anyway, I'm making the change without #ifdef
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE for code readability. Tony, please apply.
