Hm.

How do you test this? From x86 point of view, this patch seems unnecessary because
hugetlb_fault call "address &= hugetlb_mask()" at first and then migration_entry_wait()
could grab right pte lock. And from !x86 point of view, this funciton still doesn't work
because huge page != pmd on some arch.

I might be missing something though.
