Mel Gorman a425a638c8 Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions 
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory
backed by a file.  The assumption is made that the page required is
order-0 and "normal" page cache.

On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are
allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache.  This leaks
hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to
corrupted page tables.

This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed
regions.
