We should clear the page's private flag when returing the page to
the page allocator or the hugepage pool. This patch fixes it.

Hello, Andrew.
I sent the new version of commit ('07443a8') before you did pull request,
but it isn't included. It may be losted :)
So I send this fix. IMO, this is good for v3.12.
Thanks.

You describe it as a fix, but what does it fix? IOW, what are the
user-visible effects of the change?
update_and_free_page() already clears PG_private, but afaict the bit
remains unaltered if free_huge_page() takes the enqueue_huge_page()
route.
