Your patch below is more or less what I tried at first, and that resulted
in another build failure for

mm/hugetlb.c:   mmu_notifier_range_init(&range, mm, start, end,
MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR);
mm/hugetlb.c-   adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible(vma,
&range.start, &range.end);

where range.end refers to a nonexisting member of range.
