thp: transparent hugepage core fixlet



If you configure THP in addition to HUGETLB_PAGE on x86_32 without PAE,
the p?d-folding works out that munlock_vma_pages_range() can crash to
follow_page()'s pud_huge() BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET): it needs the same
VM_HUGETLB check already there on the pmd_huge() line.  Conveniently,
openSUSE provides a "blogd" which tests this out at startup!
